[PHOTOS] Raila awards party tickets for upcoming by-elections

ODM leader Raila Odinga on Thursday held a press briefing at Serena Hotel, where he addressed various issues and awarded tickets for the upcoming by-elections.

Raila backed former Kanduyi MP Ferdinand Wamunyinyi for the Bungoma Senator position, slated for December 8.

On the proposed tax increase, Raila said Kenyans should not be asked to pay extra for the Kenya Kwanza administration to realise its manifesto.

Raila also said the probe into extrajudicial killings had turned into a witch hunt.

“William Ruto's grudge against George Kinoti started before the election. Ruto appears to believe that the coming of the UDA regime is a perfect mandate for him to punish the officers he long had a grudge against. We say no,” he said.

He was accompanied by Wiper leader Kalonzo Musyoka, Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua, DAP-K leader Eugene Wamalwa and other Azimio members.
