The battle for Migori is expected to be rekindled in the next few weeks ahead of the impending Senatorial by-election following the demise of Senator Ben Oluoch Okello on Tuesday.
The by-election will no doubt revive old political rivalries as nemesis are expected to face off in a make or break contest.
Former Rongo MP Dalmas Otieno is a man who may be keen to use the upcoming by-election to reinvent his political career which suffered a setback in 2017 with a lose to Paul Abuor.
The former lawmaker, with over 30 years of political career is one of the most polished politicians in the region. However, his bitter fallout with Raila Odinga, the region's political kingpin sealed his fate in 2017.
Accused of being a Jubilee sympathizer, the former cabinet Minister formed his own party, Kalausi, to counter the ODM wave in the region. However, the outfit did not see the light of day as its key followers made a u-turn and rejoined ODM.
Is this Otieno's time to revive his political career? And what are his chances of winning? What if he rejoins ODM? Well, being a political heavyweight in his own rights, Otieno can pull a shocker. The game is just about to start.
