Raila Odinga's ODM party has expressed confidence with the performance of its candidate David Were in the just concluded Matungu parliamentary by-election, saying he braced a united force. Executive director Oduor Ong’wen said Were faced a combined efforts of ANC, Ford Kenya, Kanu and Wiper parties but still came a strong second. ANC leader Musalia Mudavadi, Ford Kenya’s Moses Wetang'ula had termed the poll as a referendum on the Luhya unity. Mudavadi, Wetang'ula, Kanu’s Gideon Moi and Wiper's Kalonzo Musyioka jointly campaigned for ANC and Ford Kenya candidates in Matungu and Kabuchai constituencies. However, ODM retained Kiamokama Ward in Kisii after its candidate Malach Matara beat his competitors.
