Event
Police have reportedly fired tear gas to disperse supporters of the opposition Azimio La Umoja party outside Anniversary Towers in Nairobi, Sept. 26. Protesters are denouncing the interdiction of Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) deputy CEO, Ruth Kulundu.
An increased security presence is likely in the impacted area. Further clashes between police forces and protesters are possible if participants ignore orders to disperse. The protest action and security personnel response will likely result in ground travel and business operation disruptions.
