ODM elections board has declared incumbent

Gideon Ochanda the winner of the Bondo MP ticket.

He beats Oburu Oginga who was declared the winner last week, NEB chairperson Judith Pareno said when she addressed the media on Saturday.

ODM had nullified Ochanda's win and declared nominated MP Oburu Oginga winner of the party ticket for the constituency seat.

Oburu is said to have received 15,784 votes against Ochanda's 9,538 in the latest results on Wednesday.

Earlier, Ochanda had been declared the winner after reportedly getting 28,446 votes against Oburu's 4,000 despite the latter's spirited campaign.

But Oburu rejected the results and ordered a recount that started at around 1 pm.

The Siaya ODM returning officer Joshua Anyona left for Kisumu where he announced the fresh results.Oburu fought claims that he is too old for the seat.
