Human rights group Defenders Coalition has condemned the arrest of election observer and activist Allans Ademba during the Ol Kalou parliamentary by-election in Nyandarua County.

Ademba, who mobilises the youth-led "Tuko Kadi" voter registration campaign, was arrested on Thursday morning outside AC Comprehensive School polling station and taken to offices of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) in Ol Kalou.

The coalition accused authorities of targeting independent election observers during the exercise.
