ODM leader Raila Odinga (centre) and Minority Chief whip Junet Mohamed (left) at Diani Reef Hotel in South Coast. [Omondi Onyango, Standard]ODM leader Raila Odinga returns to the Coast, a move meant to neutralise the influence of Deputy President William Ruto and tame rising revolts from proponents of a regional party. Buoyed by the passage of the BBI Bill by all the six county assemblies in Coast, Raila is also expected to meet local politicians, religious leaders and other key groups to implore them to vote for the Bill in the referendum. Joho has, however, maintained that he enjoys cordial relations with the ODM party leader since he declared interest to be the party’s flag bearer. On Tuesday, the ODM leader will make an extensive tour in Kilifi, holding rallies in Watamu, Ganze, Kilifi Town, Malindi Town and Mtwapa.
