The exercise will be held in Migori, Kisumu, Siaya and Homa Bay counties – Raila’s foremost political bedrocks. In Siaya, nominated MP Oburu Oginga, Governor Cornel Rasanga, Ugunja MP Opiyo Wandayi and Gem MP Jakoyo Midiwo are in a close fight. However, in a statement to newsrooms, ODM National Election Boardsecretary Bob Arunga said a new, independent committee by people from outside the county has been constituted. ODM national chairman John Mbadi is fighting to retain his Suba South parliamentary seat. In Migori, Governor Okoth Obado faces off with ex-minister Ochillo Ayacko, a contest that has been marred by violence.
