Democratic Party (DP) leader and former National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi, on Thursday, November 27, 2025, was forced to kick out UDA candidate Leo Wamuthende’s agent for flouting polling station rules.
In a video that has since gone viral on social media, an angry Muturi is seen ordering the agent, who was putting on UDA brand colors, out of the Siakago Social Hall polling station.
According to Muturi, the man entered the polling centre wearing clothing that could be seen as political branding, a move he said violated the law. He said election regulations prohibit campaign displays inside polling stations.
“Election Day is not a campaign stage, and polling stations are not theatres for party branding,” he said. He added that he confronted the situation immediately.
“I made it very clear, not here, not today,” he said. Muturi said the man was removed from the polling station “as required”. He insisted that the law must guide the exercise from start to finish.
“The law is not optional — not today, not ever,” he said, stressing that even leaders should respect boundaries set for Election Day.
Muturi explained that his role as a community leader included ensuring that voters could exercise their democratic rights freely and without interference.
“I will continue standing with my people, protecting their vote and defending the integrity of this process. No uniform, no colour, no noise will overturn the will of the voter,” he stated.
