The opposition is set to convene a meeting on Tuesday, May 27, 2025, over the abduction and release of Juja Member of Parliament (MP) George Koimburi. 

Issuing a statement on Monday, May 26, 2025, Wiper Party Leader Kalonzo Musyoka revealed that the purpose of the meeting is to assess the current state of political harassment and intimidation in the country by the Kenya Kwanza regime. 

He condemned the MP’s abduction stating that if an MP entitled to security can get abducted in broad daylight then Kenyans are on their own. 

“We condemn the abduction of Juja MP George Koimburi in the strongest terms possible. The Opposition is convening tomorrow to assess the current state of political harassment and intimidation in the country by the Kenya Kwanza regime.
