RUTO PARTY BARRED FROM USING NYAYO STADIUM FOR MAJOR CAMPAIGN RALLY

The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party has been denied to use Nyayo Stadium ok August 6 for their last campaign rally ahead of the August 9 General election.

In a letter to the party, Sports Kenya said Nyayo and Kasarani stadia will be used for peace prayers that will kick off from August 5 to August 7.

 

"We regret to inform you that due to peace concert scheduled to take place at both Moi International Sports Center- Kasarani and Nyayo National Stadium between August 5 to 7 2022.

"The facility will not be available for their rally," the letter read in part.

The letter was copied to the Cabinet Secretary  Ministry of Sports, Culture and Heritage, the Principal Secretary State Department for Sports and Development and to the Chairman Sports Kenya Board Charles Waithaka.

The new development will likely put to a stop a clash between Kenya Kwanza and Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya coalitions that had claimed booking of Nyayo Stadium for their last rallies on August 6.
