The People's Liberation Party (PLP) media team is safe following a minor road accident involving one of the party's campaign vehicles in Kisii County.
In a statement issued on Tuesday, November 10, 2026, the party confirmed that all five occupants of the media vehicle, including the driver, escaped the incident and were undergoing precautionary medical checks.
The accident occurred shortly after the party concluded its grassroots mobilisation activities in Nyangusu, following earlier engagements in Mogonga and Magena.
The tour was part of the party's Purple Train campaign, led by party leader Martha Karua, which seeks to mobilise Kenyans behind what the party describes as a common agenda for transforming and liberating the country.
According to the party, the media vehicle was involved in a minor road accident while travelling under low-visibility conditions.
PLP expressed gratitude to residents of Kisii for the warm reception during the day's engagements and thanked members of the public who reached out following news of the incident.
The Martha Karua-led party also assured its supporters that the Purple Train campaign would continue despite the incident.
The accident comes amid ongoing rainfall in several parts of the country, raising concerns over road safety as motorists contend with slippery road surfaces, reduced visibility and potentially hazardous driving conditions.
Drivers have been urged to exercise extra caution, particularly when travelling during heavy rainfall or along roads with poor drainage and visibility.
Motorists are also advised to reduce their speed, maintain a safe following distance, avoid unnecessary overtaking and ensure their vehicles are in good mechanical condition before embarking on journeys.
The public is further encouraged to avoid driving through flooded sections of roads where the depth of water cannot be established, as well as to remain alert to other road users.
The Kenya Meteorological Department has warned of continued rainfall in several regions, making heightened vigilance necessary for both private and commercial motorists.
As political parties continue their grassroots mobilisation activities ahead of the next election cycle, the incident also highlights the importance of road safety for campaign teams, journalists and other media practitioners who spend long hours travelling across the country.
PLP has maintained that its grassroots engagements will continue as planned.
