Atwoli meets elders in Luhya unity quest ahead of 2017 election

Central Organization of Trade Unions (Cotu) Secretary General Francis Atwoli

KAKAMEGA: Cotu secretary general Francis Atwoli on Sunday met Luhya elders in his latest efforts to ensure western Kenya fields one presidential candidate next year. Speaking in Khwisero, Kakamega County, Atwoli said he is consulting leaders and stakeholders across the political divide.

"Some people have said we cannot unite. That is a misplaced theory. We are already succeeding and I am committed to the course 100 per cent,'' he said.
