Funyula MP Paul Otuoma has faced another hurdle in his quest to topple incumbent Busia governor Sospeter Ojaamong .
Otuoma's uncle Mzee Ofafa Ojasi said he will support Ojaamong's reelection bid by ensuring he pulls in more than 20,000 votes.
He spoke on Wednesday during a thanksgiving ceremony by Busia Speaker Bernard Wamalwa at his Bukiri home.
"I am Otuoma's father...Wamalwa and I led him into politics. I am not afraid to say he will fall like Sigiri bridge," the uncle said.
"I asked my son which formula he will use to win the elections but he did not have an answer. Butula, which was his stronghold, has also fallen," he added.
Ojasi also revealed his reasons that led him to overlook his own son in the August polls.
"This time he took a unilateral decision without consulting family members and constituents," said Ojasi.
