She claimed that her votes in Embakasi North were being stolen and added onto Mrs Omanga's.
"I will stay here and stop this process until you tell me what's going on and why my votes are being stolen," said an agitated Mrs Shebesh who was then escorted to record a statement at Nyayo Stadium Police post.
She later left with her supporters to Jubilee headquarters to lodge a complaint.
