RAILA’s sister RUTH ODINGA withdraws from Kisumu Gubernatorial race
News just in indicates that
Raila Odinga’s younger sister Ruth Odinga has pulled out of the Kisumu
Gubernatorial race thereby leaving the path clear for her competitors in the
race to win the ODM ticket for the March 4th elections.
While withdrawing her name from the race, Ruth Odinga called
for the residents of Kisumu and its environs to maintain peace and to also
support her brother in the upcoming elections.
Ruth Odinga’s win and that of her elder brother Oburu Odinga
in the ODM nominations has led to calls of rigging and ballot tampering
influenced by nepotism.
It seems someone (most likely Raila) has finally prevailed
upon her to withdraw from the race because the protests in Kisumu were likely
going to affect the region’s enthusiasm for a Raila presidency.
More on this story to follow.
