Opposition leader Raila Odinga joined thousands of demonstrators and announced weekly demonstrations until the president resigns or the cost of living goes down.
Odinga’s convoy of dozens of cars drove around the city after being blocked from accessing the central business district.
The opposition called for protests against Ruto who they say was not validly elected in the August 2022 elections. They are also blaming Ruto’s administration for the rising cost of living. Police have been heavily deployed to State House with motorists and pedestrians being stopped from accessing the road there.
