The battle for the Migori Senatorial seat is slowly shaping up after former Rongo MP Dalmas Otieno confirmed his candidature on the Liberal Democratic Party, which is said to be associated with former Nyamira Senator Kennedy Mong'are.
In what is expected to shake up the region's politics, Otieno is going to be ODM's Ochillo Ayacko's main rival in what is expected to be do-or-die affair, a seat that the orange party is not just ready to surrender.
Speaking in Migori town during the coronation of the Suba Council of Elders, Otieno who is one of the longest serving politicians in Nyanza said that he had joined the party to help him win the seat.
"Today, I have unveiled a new party. My new symbol is a giraffe. I chose this because, just like a giraffe, I can see far... We are bitter because some people came here, pushed us around and suddenly announced that they have picked a candidate for our people," said the former cabinet minister as quoted by Standard.
Banking on his own political muscle, Otieno is dreaming big to make a political comeback while dimming ODM's dreams at the same time. Will he? Only time will tell.
