The People's Liberation Party (PLP) has strongly condemned the deportation of Martha Karua, calling it a grave violation of democratic principles and human rights. In their official statement released on May 18, 2025, the party described the act as politically motivated and urged the government to immediately account for the incident. PLP demanded Martha Karua’s unconditional return and has called on all democratic institutions and citizens to stand against what they termed as a rising wave of authoritarianism in the East African region.
