Kenya keeps making headlines — from packed football stadiums in Nairobi to important moves in national politics. If you care about Kenyan sport, politics, or culture, this page brings the most relevant stories together so you don’t miss the moments that matter.

Top Kenya stories right now

CHAN 2024 in Nairobi is one of the biggest draws. Group A features Kenya alongside DR Congo, Morocco, Angola and Zambia. Expect intense matches, full stands and standout performances as teams battle for quarter-final spots through August 30, 2025. If you follow Kenyan football, this tournament shows local talent on a bigger stage and gives fans plenty to talk about.

On the political front, Suna East MP Junet Mohamed clarified the opposition’s focus on supporting Raila Odinga’s bid for the African Union Commission chair rather than immediate efforts to unseat the president. That stance — and President Ruto’s endorsement of Raila’s AU bid — adds an unusual twist to national politics and signals how Kenya’s leaders are thinking regionally as well as at home.
