Migori gubernatorial hopeful Ochillo Ayacko has exuded confidence in winning the seat during the forthcoming general elections.
In a radio interview with Ramogi FM on Friday, the former Cabinet Minister accused ODM Party of rigging him out during the just concluded party primaries, citing various electoral malpractices.
“In the August polls, the county will have a referee who will give residents a chance to choose their preferred leader without interference,” he said.
He further pledged to spearhead opposition alliance NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga's campaigns in the region, stating that he still believes in the ideals of the Orange Party.
“I am a voter. And there is no rule barring me from supporting Raila who is my presidential candidate,” he said.
“I am also confident that the opposition in Migori will get maximum presidential votes for Raila Odinga,” he added.
Ayacko is set to vie as an independent candidate.
He will face off with the incumbent governor Okoth Obado who won the ODM Party ticket.
