STATEMENT BY ODM ON UGENYA AND EMBAKASI SOUTH BY-ELECTIONS
The by-elections in Ugenya and Embakasi South are now behind us.
The Orange Democratic Movement takes this opportunity to congratulate the winners; Hon David Ochieng (Ugenya) and Hon Julius Mawathe (Embakasi South) for their victories.
We thank our supporters and candidates who took part in the campaigns and the voting. We particularly thank the voters and the candidates for the decorum, civility and respect that prevailed throughout the campaigns and on Election Day. Through this, our continuing march into a truly democratic nation has been enriched.
Further, we thank the Jubilee Party Leader, H.E. President Uhuru Kenyatta who, in the spirit of the Handshake, asked his party to pull out of the Ugenya and Embakasi South by-elections. That decision made the by-elections a friendly contest between familiar allies and parties.
In the two contests, the people have spoken in favour of politics of accommodation, tolerance, reason and embrace of each other and the wider national agenda. We applaud this.
It is line with our policy as a Party, and one we intend to carry forward in line with the provisions of the MoU between H.E. Raila Odinga and H.E. Uhuru Kenyatta signed on March 9, 2018. The Party will certainly review its performance in the two by-elections with a view to establishing what could have been done differently.
Hon Junet Mohammed.

ODM should treat this as a signal of what will happen come 2022 as long as they continue giving direct tickets to candidates because of their pockets, and leave peoples choice because they have not done anything to the part.

THE HANDSHAKE WAS DESIGNED TO ERASE RAILA ODINGA CONTROL NOT ONLY IN NYANZA, BUT ALSO IN THE WHOLE OF KENYA!!
KNEE-CAPPING ANY POLITICAL OPPONENT WHILE DELIVERING ZERO PROGRESS TO CONSTITUENTS IS NOT A GOOD METHOD OF MOTIVATING VOTERS! ODM PUPPETS MUST HAVE THEIR EYES WIDE OPEN REGARDING WHERE THEIR NEXT MEALS WILL COME FROM!!
HANDSHAKE IS TRAP!

handshake meant keeping your enemy closer for supervision and easier elimination. its amazing how an octagerian is being taught politics by a kid.

Handshake was like a smelling trap setup to lure the greedy ODM FLIES! They will eat on the smelly dump, lay their eggs in the dump and die inside that carefully setup dump; just like flies do!
