Ugenya MP David Ochieng has told the ODM party to stop associating him with Deputy President William Ruto. Speaking in his constituency on Monday, Ochieng said his political opponents most of whom are ODM members were associating his MDG Party with Ruto to reduce its popularity. Ochieng was first elected in 2013 on an ODM party ticket but ditched the orange party to form MDG to defend his seat in 2017. “I had abandoned ODM after being short-changed and have formed MDG party to rival ODM in Nyanza so that I don’t caucus with Nasa or Jubilee Party,” he said. The Ugenya MP is among those targeted by ODM for removal as members of the National Assembly's Health Committee.
