Lang’ata MP Phelix Odiwuor popularly known as Jalang’o says he is in ODM to stay amid renewed calls by party leader Raila Odinga for rebel MPs working with the government to resign and seek a fresh mandate on a UDA ticket. Raila said he had already reached out to the Lang’ata MP and his colleagues to seek fresh mandates under UDA tickets if they are men enough. If you want to leave ODM and join UDA, then leave Parliament and return to the people to be re-elected under UDA," Raila said. "In Nairobi, we have Lang'ata MP and you know the rest. “So, I’m in ODM, if they want me to go back to the elections, I will go back then they call nominations again then I beat all of them again under ODM,” Jalang’o said.
