PRESS RELEASE

MISLEADING REPORTS BY THE STAR NEWSPAPER

The National Elections Board of the ODM Party wishes to disassociate itself from reports in the section of the media quoting one Philip Makabong’o, an official of the Party in Migori regarding to the nominations for the Party flagbearer in the Migori Senatorial race. The said report being quoted by the Star newspaper online is unfactual and not sanctioned by the Board or the Secretariat.

The NEB is the only organ of the Party mandated by the Party constitution to conduct elections and carry out nomination exercises and not any other person or organ.The process is still on and the suitable candidate will be announced in due course. I urge the people of Migori County to treat the report as rumours.

Sen. Judith Pareno
Chairperson, NEB

    Raila is contradicting and sending mixed messages from what his top Achelon lieutenants, Junet Mohamed and Wandayi expressed; warning to Gov. Obado last week. Wandayi and Junet Mohamed need to apologize to Migori electorates for intentional oversight which does not reflect the ODM values of commitment to inclusion, non discrimination, fair play and equality within the party. If Views of Migori electorates are not addressed, then I see protest votes against ODM dictatorial tendencies and favoritism. The voters may decide to cast their votes against Ayacko, not because he is a bad person, because he is not his own man; he had to bring outsiders to dictate to the people whom the party had selected. Ayacko would have won last time, but people saw him as a weak candidate who could not win without the influence and interfearence of the outsiders, so Obado carried the day because of the protest votes. Even the the would be supporters of Ayacko decided to go against him because of Carpet bagging. Migori people are suspicious of the direct nomination in favor of one candidate ! Raila is weakening his hand in Luo land by superimposing some candidates without electorates inputs. Either Jakom think that wanaiinchi can not make their decisions or Luo land is ruled by Odinga monarchy where the kings’ word is final. We need unity in Migori County, rather than remorseful candidates tuning as independents. ODM need to give people a chance to elect their leaders, that way, whoever loses fairly will support the winner for the sake of development. Raila is a national leader, let him not involve in petty local politics , after all, Luo leaders will end up caucusing with ODM, so why bother who wins. Lastly, Junet should desist from doing dirty work for ODM in Migori, because the electorate are like a home donkey who knows how and when to kick where it hurts. He should not be drank with absolute power, especially in his own county wher electorates are the bosses armed with voting cards.
