Elisha Odhiambo, the winner of the ODM primaries for the Gem parliamentary seat, has exuded confidence he will fly the party flag in the August 8 polls. Odhiambo trounced incumbent and National Assembly deputy minority leader Jakoyo Midiwo in the primaries. He said he was legally declared the winner by the returning officer and is not worried. “The only person mandated to read the results is the returning officer and he was there. This election was not about Jakoyo, but about the people of Gem,” he said at a press conference in Nairobi on Saturday.
