The competition was organised by locals from the Marakaru area of Bungoma, without realising that a record would be broken in less than an hour.
According to Wamalwa's competitor, they had refrained from eating anything for several hours in preparation for this highly contested battle of consuming ugali with omena.

The event takes place annually during the planting season, and the champion usually receives maize seeds and fertilizer to use for planting.
It was a remarkable feat by Wamalwa, who demonstrated his prowess in devouring the traditional dish.
Wamalwa's competitor said that he had taken part in various competitions despite losing in the deeply heated competition.
