Governor Okoth Obado has won the ODM nominations in Migori county.

Obado won with over 110,142

votes against his rival Ochillo Ayacko's 59,000.

Earlier the Migori county ODM primaries tallying was marred with confusion after the process was stopped

indefinitely.

The tallying center was

brought into a halt as Ayacko brought a court order stopping the exercise.

He complained that the results had been being rigged.

Ayacko said the results from

three constituencies: Suna West, Uriri and Awendo constituencies were compromised.

On Monday, Obado said he will accept results of the ongoing ODM nominations if the process is free and fair.

"In the event that the process is free and fair, all of us should accept the verdict of voters."

"Don't force your will onto the people. The exercise will be fair i can even smell it from the environment," he said.

Obado spoke to the media after casting his vote at Rapogi Primary School polling station.

His call comes after he was summoned alongside Siaya politicians

during campaigns ahead of the primaries.
