A cobra caused panic and fear after it appeared during a political rally in Machakos, a town in Kenya.
The poisonous snake according to reports had charged at the guests forcing the politicians and some residents to climb into tables as others fled while some others were forced to climb tables.
Residents came together to fight the deadly snake which they later killed and burnt.
The function later resumed after residents and the politicians had been assured the snake was killed.
Machakos county is one of those that has been affected by incidents of snake attacks, the region which is semi-arid has a large number of poisonous snakes including cobras and vipers which have maimed and killed residents.
Residents in the region are usually advised to visit the nearest health facilities in case of snake bites so as to be given snake anti-venom.
