Homa Bay Town MP Peter Kaluma has said the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) should secure more than half of government positions if it enters into a political agreement with the United Democratic Alliance (UDA) ahead of the next General Election. “If we were to go with the current demographics, we should actually have more than 15 Cabinet slots,” Kaluma said. “That is why I am insisting that we will present a presidential candidate and our constitution is clear on who is our presidential candidate even before nomination,” he said. “Dr Oburu Oginga, our party leader, is our presidential candidate as we speak,” Kaluma said. “So when you go to negotiation and agree on a candidate, even if he is not from ODM, then he becomes our presidential candidate,” he added.
