Raila Odinga faces fresh revolt in Homa Bay by-election

Silas Jakakimba, Senate aspirant

HOMA BAY: Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga is faced with yet another dilemma in the February 12, Homa Bay Senatorial by-election as rival forces within the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) battle over his involvement in the succession politics.

Raila is said to be among the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (CORD) leaders who are planning to accompany Moses Kajwang, the ODM flag bearer, to present his nomination papers to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) on Thursday. The ODM leader is also expected to drum up support for Mr Kajwang on Friday, a move that some ODM MPs and rival candidates have since protested.
