Allies of ODM leader Raila Odinga yesterday took their campaigns to Vihiga, the home county of Musalia Mudavadi, the man behind last month’s political “earthquake”.

Political leaders who addressed the gatherings sharply criticised the ANC leader and his Ford Kenya counterpart, Moses Wetang’ula, for choosing to work with Deputy President William Ruto in Kenya Kwanza Alliance. Ruto is battling against Raila for the State House seat in the August election. Raila is widely expected to contest under the Azimio la Umoja banner.
