Antony Kibagendi, the Jubilee Kisii County Youth chief campaigner endured yet again another tough moments on Friday when campaigning for President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Two days prior to his predicaments at Kitutu Chache South constituency, Kibagandi had to flee Ogembo Township following frosty reception by locals.
At Kitutu South on Friday, Kibagendi was frog marched by angry NASA supporters who accused him of ‘maligning’ party leader Raila Odinga.
Police attached to Mosocho intervened at rescued Kibagendi from a possible lynch after which the angry NASA supporters fired warning to the outspoken youth leader.
“I will not be intimidated and I will continue working for mu people. I will rally behind President Uhuru Kenyatta come rain,” he told reporters.
And Kitutu Chache South MP Richard Onyonka, in whose home Kibagendi was brutally attacked condemned the incidence.
“It was unfortunate but he should learn to avoid such charged places. We should try to hold sober campaigns.”
Prior to his defection to Jubilee, Kibagendi was a close ally of ODM leader Raila Odinga, to who he closely worked with for many years.
