Today promises to be a big and eventful day for Migori Governor Okotho Obado, and ODM senatorial candidate George Ochillo Ayacko.
Faced with claims of having a hand in the murder of Sharon Otieno last month, Obado will today know whether High Court Judge Jessie Lessit will release him on bail not.
Last week, the Migori County boss applied to be released on bail citing the deteriorating status of his health.
He has been in custody for over ten days now, since judge Lessit denied him bail late last month.
Obado will most definitely have a sigh of relief if the judge pronounces his release on bail.
Anything short of that will be heartbreaking not only to him and his family, but his supporters as well.
Today, Migori County residents are electing a new Senator via a by-election after the death of Ben Oluoch Okello in June.
ODM candidate Ochillo Ayacko is among the front-runners, but he is facing a formidable competition in the form of Federal Party of Kenya’s Eddy Oketch.
It has been christened a battle between ODM leader Raila Odinga and Deputy President William Ruto, who is alleged to be supporting Oketch.
The stakes are high for Ayacko. A win will make him the third Migori County Senator, while defeat will send him back to the political cold until 2022.
