Residents from Nyanza - an ODM stronghold, are warming up to the new found ‘bromance’ between President Uhuru Kenyatta and National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga.

The region, particularly Kondele in Kisumu bore the biggest brunt during the standoff between the two leaders with deaths and loss of property witnessed on several occasions during anti-Jubileee protests. But now it is interesting how things have changed and the locals even want President Kenyatta to visit Nyanza.
