Published on November 8, 2019, a dramatic incident unfolded in Kibra, Kenya, involving Boni Khalwale, a former Kakamega senator.

According to eyewitnesses, Khalwale was mobbed by a group of young people after he was accused of bribing voters. In a bizarre attempt to escape, he picked up stones to defend himself.

However, the situation took a turn for the worse when Khalwale decided to pick up stones to fend off the young people. The incident has left many Kenyans in stitches, with some even mocking the former senator's decision to resort to violence.

The Kibra by-election was won by ODM, and incumbent MP Bernard Mariga has since conceded defeat.
