Unmasking faces behind Ol Kalou by-election terror and bribery
The Ol Kalou by-election was, without doubt, a heated race. The stakes were high, so much so that political outfits went the extra mile to secure victory. But in some cases, that extra mile embodied the desecration of the rule of law, abuse of power and manipulation of resources.
The ruling United Democratic Alliance's candidate, Samuel Muchina, enjoyed a well-oiled campaign, with national attention focused on the money that was allegedly poured into the race, the goodies that were distributed and much more. Yet many questions remained unanswered, leaving room for uncertainty, speculation and competing narratives.
The latest uproar centres on high-end vehicles bearing no registration plates and used by armed men whose faces were concealed with balaclavas or scarves. Who were these individuals? Under whose authority were they operating? And what was their agenda?
NTV Investigates went undercover from the final week of the campaign through to election day. Using secret footage, open-source intelligence and digital footprints, the investigation now reveals the identities of the masked individuals, alongside other influential figures linked to the wider scheme.
