Why do ODM officials want Luos to celebrate?
Speaking to the press in Kisumu on Friday, September 13, Kisumu Women Representative Ruth Odinga emphasized that it is too early to celebrate, as Raila Odinga has not yet won.
Kisumu County Deputy Governor Mathews Owili and Kisumu Central MP Joshua Oron echoed Ruth Odinga’s sentiment, criticizing those who claim Raila had already won the AUC chair position.
“There is excitement, but we would like to urge caution, we would want to urge sobriety,” said Owili.
She stated that since Kenyan supporters of Raila Odinga will not participate in the voting process, the best they can do is remember him in their prayers.
This followed the unanimous endorsement of Governor of Kisumu Anyang’ Nyong’o as the interim party leader by the Kisumu County ODM leadership.
“As the pioneer Secretary General, Prof. Nyong’o is the best fit to steer the Party forward,given his exemplary and distinguished service,” the leaders said.
Attendees of the press conference included Kisumu Central MP Joshua Oron, Kisumu MCA Ruth Odinga, Assembly Majority Whip Seth Kanga, and Kisumu County ODM Chairperson Paul Akeyo….CLICK HERE FOR MORE ARTICLE>>>
