ODM candidates in Kisumu have planned a series of rallies to popularise their candidature and consolidate votes for NASA presidential flagbearer Raila Odinga.
The rallies are aimed at making inroads in areas where independent candidates have gained ground and unite voters from Raila’s backyard.
Mombasa Governor and ODM deputy party leader Hassan Joho is expected to lead the candidates and the Nyanza presidential campaign team in the vote hunt.
The rallies are planned for Ahero town, Nyando, Kenyatta sports grounds and the famous Kirembe grounds in Kisumu town.
Kisumu county ODM chairman Kennedy Ajwang said they are not leaving anything to chance.
“We expect various ODM top leaders to launch the campaign in the county,” he said.
Raila and his NASA co-principals are expected to attend the rallies.
Homa Bay woman rep Gladys Wanga, nominated MP Oburu Oginga and Kisumu Deputy Governor Ruth Odinga are among the chief campaigners for Raila’s presidency.
Senator Anyang Nyong’o (Kisumu governor candidate) and Nyando MP Fred Outa (senator candidate) are part of the team.
Nyando MP candidate Jared Okello yesterday
echoed
Raila's
call for six-piece voting.
