A last-minute call by Wajir leaders prompted Raila Odinga to suspend his anticipated tour to Nyamira for the burial of ODM activist.
Mr. Shem Oboso will be laid to rest on Thursday follwoing his mysterious death that is yet to be solved by the police.
And with Raila expected, he had to deploy local party leaders for the function follwoing an urgent meeting with Wajir leaders led by former governor Abdullahi Ahmed.
"He was to attend but had to make last minute changes. He is receiving delegation from Wajir for some other pressing issues.
"However, as local leadership, we shall ensure all is well and the young man is given a descent burial," said Richard Kaka, ODM chairman, Nyamira County.
Mr. Ahmed successfully had had elections of his successor nullified but has since moved to Supreme Court to challenge the ruling at Appeals Court.
Among activities Oboso would be remembered for is leading non-violent anti-IEBC demonstrations in 2016.
