West Kasipul MCA Vickins Bondo, who is the youngest elected MCA in Homa Bay County, has been shot by unknown people in Nairobi.
Kileleshwa MCA Robert Alai, in a statement shared via his official X account on Sunday, April 27, 2025, said that Bondo was shot on Saturday night.
However, Alai did not reveal the current state of the MCA but pointed out that police are working to trace his whereabouts.
“Homa Bay County MCA Vickins Bondo was shot in Nairobi last night. Police are trying to trace where he is,” Alai stated.
Daily Trends has established that Bondo sustained a head injury. He was rushed to hospital where he was stitched and discharged.
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) declared Bondo the winner of the West Kasipul ward seat in 2022 after garnering 4,041 votes against his closest challenger, Peter Ongili, who got 3,975 votes.
Bondo won on an independent ticket, while Ongili contested on an ODM ticket.
Ongili went to Oyugis court and challenged Bondo’s election before the latter election was nullified.
Senior Principal Magistrate Bernard Omwansa issued a ruling on January 31, 2023, that saw Bondo’s election annulled.
Omwansa ordered the electoral agency to conduct a fresh election.
During a hearing at Oyugis law court, it was established that some counterfoils used in the election did not match the valid ballot papers.
The MCA and IEBC later moved to the High Court in Homa Bay to appeal the decision by the lower court where Justice Waweru Kiarie reversed the ruling and reinstated him as the duly elected MCA.
