Migori Senator Ochilo Ayacko is to be given direct ODM nomination to vie for the governorship, party chairman John Mbadi has said.
Mbadi said an opinion poll done in the county showed Ayacko, a key ally of ODM leader Raila Odinga, was the most favourite to succeed governor Okoth Obado who is serving his second and final term. Woman Representative Pamela Odhiambo and businessman Philip Mwabe were also seeking to fly the ODM flag in the governorship race.
