Raila Odinga-led Orange Democratic (ODM) party has pitched camp in rebel MP Aisha Jumwa’s constituency in a mission to hunt for votes in upcoming Ganda ward by-elections.
The party’s Secretary General Edwin Sifuna alongside party’s Executive Director Oduor Ongwen camped in the ward drumming up support for their candidate Reuben Mwamure Katana.
The by-election will be held on Thursday 17th October.
“SG @edwinsifuna ED @ongwen and other party top officials continued with their vote hunting mission in Ganda Ward of Malindi Constituency today. They drummed up support for our candidate Reuben Mwamure Katana. The by-election will be held Thursday 17th Oct,” reads ODM ‘s post on twitter.
Jumwa who has declared her support for Deputy President William Ruto is viewed as a rebel in ODM. She supports immediate former MCA Abdulrahman Mohamed whose election was nullified by a Mombasa court.
The Independent Electoral and Boundary Commission declared the seat vacant in July.
Reuben Katana was declared the ODM candidate after contenders Ibrahim Kaniki and Erastus Katana alias King’ale dropped out.
Mohamed who was elected through ODM is seeking reelection as an independent candidate.
