Budalangi MP Ababu Namwamba has indicated he still talks with former prime minister Raila Odinga.

This is after he left Raila's ODM party, to support Uhuru Kenyatta, through the Labour party.

“I still have a fantastic relationship with Raila Odinga. I have absolutely no personal issues with Raila Odinga,” he revealed during a television interview.

The former ODM secretary general explained that he walked out from ODM since he felt there was a problem with the way the party was being managed.

“There were issues with the way the party was managed. I felt that I could not continue to operate within ODM,'' he noted, Friday.

“Everybody saw what happened at Kasarani when the party sabotaged its own election when it was very clear I was going to be elected secretary general,” he added.
