The party retained its seat in Mosiro Ward in Kajiado County after its candidate Peter Tirishe trounced Jubilee’s Jonathan Koroine in a close contest. Jubilee and ODM agreed to accept the verdict of the people and that is what we will do. Similarly, ODM also stamped its authority in Kalokol Ward, Turkana County, where Josephat Ekeno garnered 1,715 votes to beat Jubilee's Simon Nangiro, who had 1,336. However, the fiercely contested election between ODM and Jubilee was marred by violence that saw Ekeno's two daughters shot and wounded in an attack on his home.
