Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leaders from
Siaya County have resolved to work together to ensure their candidate
wins the Ugenya Constituency by-election.
Led
by Senator James Orengo, Governor Cornell Rasanga and Ugunja MP Opiyo
Wandayi, they called on the residents to turn out in large numbers and
vote in the mini-poll scheduled for April 5.
"Let
us not ashame our party leader Raila Odinga and elect Chris Karan who
has proved to be a loyal, diligent and committed leader for his
constituents and the party," Mr Orengo said during a campaign rally at
Sega Township on Saturday.
The
meeting which took place just a week after Mr Odinga said he will not
campaign for Mr Karani because of his busy schedule at the African
Union.
Siaya Woman Representative
Christine Ombaka said any vote for Mr David Ochieng, Mr Karani’s rival,
will only empower Deputy President William Ruto who has attacked their
party leader in the ongoing dams tendering saga investigations.
