Luo elders want their council dissolved

A section of the Luo Council of Elders wants the organisation dissolved to pave way for fresh elections.

This comes in the wake of differences between leaders of two factions – one led by Nyandiko Ongadi and another by Willys  Otondi.

Mr Nyandiko stirred controversy when he said Luo leaders should recognise President Uhuru Kenyatta as the Head of State and work with him, a position condemned by Mr Otondi who accused the former of being a sellout and an impostor.

Both Nyandiko and Otondi have officials in Homa Bay, Migori, Kisumu and Siaya counties.
