On Saturday, July 16, the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition, led by ODM leader Raila Odinga, traversed Nairobi county selling their agenda to the city electorate.
However, a fight broke out in Kawangware between Nairobi senatorial aspirant Edwin Sifuna and blogger Robert Alai, who is running for the Kileleshwa MCA seat.
According to reports, the blogger was protesting Sifuna’s decision to deny him the opportunity to address the crowd. The event was hosted by the ODM secretary-general.
Alai confronted the lawyer, as seen in a video, and they began exchanging words. Their argument quickly turned into a fist fight.
Raila was forced to intervene due to the duo’s brawl. The Opposition leader can be heard angrily calling Alai’s name, most likely to restrain him. The rally resumed minutes later after the peace was restored.
