Lilian Gogo has defied all the odds to break the one-term MP jinx in Rangwe constituency.

The constituency was carved from the former Homa Bay constituency in 1988. By then, Homa Bay constituency comprised the current Rangwe, Homa Bay Town, Rongo and Awendo constituencies.

But since creation of Rangwe, the constituency has carried the tag Log dichiel, a Luo expression meaning "wash your hands once" to refer to MPs serving only for one term.
