Opposition leader Raila Odinga’s ODM party was last night poised to retain the Malindi constituency parliamentary seat following a tense vote. ODM’s William Mtengo had opened a wide lead over his closest challenger, Jubilee Alliance Party’s Philip Charo.
With 73 of the 100 polling stations reporting, Mr Mtengo had polled 15,582 votes against Charo’s 9,243.
