I will vie for Busia governor as an independent candidate if ODM declines to give me the nomination certificate, Paul Otuoma has said. The Funyula MP on Monday addressed rallies at Marenga, Omena beach and Lunyofu in Port Victoria, Budalang’i constituency. Major protests rocked Busia county after Governor Sospeter Ojaamong was declared the winner of ODM nomination on Friday. Ojaamong clinched the ODM ticket with 92,358 votes against Funyula MP Paul Otuoma’s 63,752 votes. Despite tough talk by party honchos to rein in violence, Busia sub-branch treasurer David Otini and Angurai South ward chairman Joseph Okware were beaten by goons.
