Police chiefs from across the country have stepped up preparations to manage election related security, with Inspector-General Douglas Kanja warning politicians and youth against engaging in violence during political campaigns and public gatherings.

Mr Kanja said the police force is prepared to deal with anyone planning or causing chaos in the country, noting that 10,000 police officers who will graduate this year will help strengthen the fight against crime. This comes as politicians across the country engage in early campaigns ahead of the 2027 General Election with chaos witnessed in some rallies.
