Cynics have often wondered what makes Governor Okoth Obado a success in Migori politics. With a population of about 260,000, according to the 2009 census, the community has about 94,000 votes and occupies two constituencies: Kuria West and East. They predominantly occupy Suna East and West constituencies, with a huge number spread in Uriri and Awendo constituencies. There are also a few Luhya families in Kuria West. Then there are the Somali, Nubia and Kikuyu who make a sizeable voting bloc that tilts the balance in Obado’s favour.
