Why Migori senatorial candidate Oketch has conceded defeat

Senatorial candidate in the just concluded Migori by-election Eddy Gicheru Oketch “conceded defeat for the sake of peace and harmony among the county’s electorates.”

During an interview with the Standard Digital Videos, Oketch insisted that the by-election, held after the seat fell vacant following the death of the then Senator Ben Oluoch, was not free and fair.

“Peace and unity is a recipe for development in any sound economy. When I was vying, my message was peace and unity. When I looked at the situation, I saw no need to polarise Ayacko and my supporters,” said Oketch.
