The party officials accused Mr Ochiel of snubbing key party events and failing to convene meetings, affecting ANC’s dominance in the region. We don't know if he (Ochiel) is still a member or not but our main aim was to replace him as our chairman," Mr Kaisha said. While visiting Mr Ochiel at his home last Friday, Mr Oparanya said they had been friends since their time as officials of the AFC Leopards football club. Ochiel is an ANC chairman but this does not stop us from being friends," the Kakamega governor said. He denied that there was something sinister about his meeting with Mr Oparanya, saying it was not political.
