In a video that has since gone viral on social media, the Vihiga Senator is seen being confronted and physically assaulted by two unidentified individuals.
The attackers appear aggressive and determined, repeatedly shoving Osotsi as he struggles to shield his face from harm.
The motive behind the attack remains unclear, with authorities yet to confirm whether it was politically motivated or a random act of violence.
However, the incident comes just days after Osotsi was reportedly removed from his position within the ODM party, adding a layer of political tension to the unfolding situation.
In its statement, ODM condemned the attack, terming it unacceptable and calling for swift investigations to identify and prosecute those responsible.
The party emphasized the need for tolerance and respect for democratic freedoms, warning against the normalization of violence in political spaces.
The assault has triggered widespread reactions from leaders and citizens alike, many expressing concern over the safety of public officials and the broader implications for Kenya’s political environment.
Security agencies are expected to launch investigations into the incident as pressure mounts for accountability.
Meanwhile, Osotsi’s condition has not been officially disclosed, though reports indicate he managed to escape without severe injuries.
The incident highlights growing concerns over political hostility, with observers urging leaders to promote peace and dialogue to prevent further escalation.
