There are no talks between my United Democratic Party leader (UDP) Cyrus Jirongo and ODM leader Raila Odinga for me to shelve my governor ambitions, Vihiga Senator George Khaniri says. I am on the ballot seeking to be elected as Vihiga governor,” Khaniri said. Khaniri will be facing the incumbent Governor Wilber Ottichilo of ODM, former governor Moses Akaranga of PPOK, Sabatia MP Alfred Agoi of ANC, and Francis Ominde of FPK. Former National Assembly Speaker who had joined the race for Vihiga governor will have to shelve his ambitions after Raila Odinga had proposed him for the senate speaker position. Initially, he had called on former Governor Moses Akaranga and Sabatia MP Alfred Agoi to shelve their ambition and support him to unseat the incumbent.
