Two ODM leaders have downplayed UDA's win in Kiambaa by-election, saying it has no impact on the 2022 presidential race. Speaking separately to the press in Migori town on Saturday, the two leaders said there is nothing to read in the election results in relation to 2022 presidential elections. “The message from the results is that Jubilee Party has been told that competition has been brought to its doorstep and it should put its house in order". "As for us in ODM and those backing Raila Odinga's presidential bid in next polls, there is nothing to write home about,” Ayacko said. The two leaders said they would have loved for the Jubilee Party candidate to win, but congratulated the winner and said he was welcome in Parliament.
