Mbavu Destroyer visits Embu Tenri to back Kingsley after Sally’s student election victory
By Steve Ireri, July 11, 2026Boxer and content creator Mbavu Destroyer has travelled to Embu’s Tenri Schools in a dramatic show of support for student politician Kingsley Munene following his defeat in the school’s widely followed presidential election, jokingly warning newly elected president Sally Mwende that he had come looking for her.
In a video shared on his TikTok on Saturday, July 11, 2026, Mbavu is seen walking through the school compound alongside Kingsley while playfully portraying himself as someone determined to avenge his friend’s election loss.
Addressing the camera as he climbed a flight of stairs towards the classrooms, the content creator declared that he was unhappy with Kingsley’s defeat and was ready to confront anyone who had wronged him.
“You cannot mess with my brother and walk away with it. We are very alert this time round. I am full of anger, and this time it will be crazy,” he said.
The pair later entered one of the classrooms, where dozens of pupils watched as Mbavu continued the humorous skit by asking about Sally’s whereabouts.
Looking around the classroom, he joked that he had expected to find the newly elected student president there.
“Where is Sally? Where does she sit? I see she is not here in the class, so anyone in this class who sees Sally, please let her know that I have come,” he said as the pupils burst into laughter.
Although the remarks appeared confrontational, the video was clearly presented as light-hearted entertainment, with Mbavu Destroyer using exaggerated language to create humorous content around the viral school election that captivated Kenyans online.
The latest video comes weeks after Sally Mwende emerged victorious in the highly publicised Tenri Schools student presidential election held on June 15, 2026.
Sally won the race after securing 236 votes, defeating her closest challenger Allan Njue, who garnered 189 votes.
Other candidates included Kingsley Munene, who received 108 votes, and Precious Nevina, who finished with 29 votes.
The election attracted nationwide attention after campaign videos, debates and endorsements by content creators flooded social media, turning what began as a school leadership contest into one of Kenya’s most talked-about online moments.
Allan’s campaign became particularly popular online through its viral “Alo Alo” slogan, while his campaign manager Braidon Brian also gained significant attention and landed corporate brand partnerships during the election period.
Despite dominating conversations across social media, Allan ultimately lost the vote on the ground, with Sally receiving overwhelming support from fellow students.
The election itself was organised under the supervision of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) as part of a civic education programme, with classrooms transformed into polling stations and tallying centres to mirror Kenya’s national electoral process.
Besides electing a student president, learners also voted for other leadership positions, including cabinet secretaries and class captains, in an exercise widely praised for giving students practical exposure to democratic processes.
