After weeks of controversy over the ODM nominee for the Gem parliamentary seat that resulted in a legal battle pitting incumbent MP Elisha Odhiambo against hopeful Jalango Midiwo, it is now all systems go as campaigns begin.
ODM has settled on Odhiambo to defend the seat while the Communist Party of Kenya (CPK) and Democratic Action Party of Kenya (DAP-K) have also fielded candidates to wrestle the seat from ODM.
