Mary Chebukati shared her scary experience during Kenya's 2022 election drama. When fighting broke out at the vote center, she tried calling her husband, Wafula, but nobody answered her calls.
She finally reached Bishop David Oginde and begged him for the truth about her husband's safety. The bishop promised her that Wafula was okay despite the chaos happening around him.
The scene at Bomas in Kenya turned wild just as Wafula arrived to announce the winner of the presidential race. People started throwing chairs and fighting each other before police stepped in to control the situation.
Mary even called TV reporter Sam Gituku hoping to learn what was happening when the violence erupted. The trouble started after IEBC Commissioners disagreed about the election results.
Wafula showed up at Bomas right when four other commissioners held a separate news conference at a Nairobi hotel to challenge the results. Police officers formed a protective circle around him as people threw equipment at him.
Earlier that day, Mary had asked Archbishop Jackson Ole Sapit to visit their home and pray for her husband. This happened after Sapit called asking Wafula to help religious leaders enter the Bomas compound.
Within minutes, fourteen religious leaders arrived at their home. Mary served them tea as her husband dressed, and then after prayers, they all headed to Bomas together.
Later that evening, Wafula told Mary those prayers truly helped him. He described seeing someone point a gun at him before security officers pushed the person down and removed the threat.
