Karua asked the Chief Prosecutor at the ICC to closely follow developments in Kenya and determine whether the reported incidents provide enough grounds for an examination.
Karua said citizens should be free to participate in politics, while journalists should be able to cover political events and police officers should be allowed to perform their duties without being placed under political pressure.
KEWOPA Chairperson Leah Sankaire said women seeking elective positions continue to face discrimination within political parties, difficult nomination processes, violence, intimidation and online harassment, factors she said were discouraging many from pursuing political leadership.
Speaking during a local TV interview on Sunday, Kuria said the opposition was already struggling with internal divisions and that the political manoeuvring was likely to continue until early next year, when he expects the major alliances to become clearer
Taking to her X account on Thursday, Karua noted that the conclusion of the nearly eight-year murder trial reaffirmed the urgent need for criminal justice agencies to prioritise cases involving violence against women, noting that while the prosecution showed determination, justice should not take so long to be delivered
Karua maintained that her decision is not open for negotiation, adding that she remains committed to the coalition and will stand behind the candidate selected through the agreed process, but only as a supporter.
The opposition leader noted that political leadership should be measured by service to the people rather than the offices individuals hold, maintaining that meaningful public engagement continues regardless of electoral outcomes
He warned that backing other presidential hopefuls within the opposition would weaken Matiang'i's chances of emerging as the coalition's flag bearer
Speaking during a Radio Generation interview on Thursday, he argued that Sifuna consistently attracts large crowds without handing out cash, branded merchandise, or campaign attire, a rare feat in Kenyan politics
The survey found that the Kalonzo Musyoka–Edwin Sifuna ticket attracted 23% support nationally, placing it ahead of all other opposition pairings.
Infotrak says Kalonzo has continued to improve his standing over the past year, while Matiang'i has lost part of the support he previously enjoyed. The poll also points to Sifuna's rise, placing him among the leading contenders for the first time.
Speaking at ACK St. Andrew's Church in Kiambu County during a church service on Sunday, the former Attorney General said opposition supporters deserve to know their presidential candidate as early as possible to allow for an effective and spirited campaign.
