Women in Kakamega County have a unique way of endorsing their leaders and those seeking political office. Traditionally such clothing were used during initiation ceremonies and were wrapped around initiates’ waists during seclusion period. Senator Boni Khalwale, now eyeing the Kakamega county governor’s seat has seemingly received the unique form of showing approval from old women and mothers during the campaigns. The women who show up at the campaign rallies with the clothing tied around their waists end up untying them and have them wrapped around Khalwale’s neck. The number of those seeking to tie theirs around his neck grows until the senator gets difficulties in accommodating more.
