Witnesses said Kaluma had been dancing next to Ogaga. Later, he started kicking and punching Ogaga, who retaliated by lifting him and hurling him to the ground. He then rained blows on him.
Supporters then started hurling stones at the main dais, hitting Ranguma, who fell off his seat and was dragged to safety by his security detail. One of the guards said Ranguma was driven to Aga Khan Hospital in Kisumu.
