Rarieda MP Nicholas Gumbo has said he is confident he will win the next general elections as governor, Siaya.
According to Gumbo, he has initiated many projects in different parts of his constituency and therefore deserves the governor seat.
Speaking during a funds drive for 64 women’s groups at Bar-Kalare Primary School in Gem constituency, Gumbo said no one will stand between him and the seat in the next general polls.
“My development track record speaks for itself and I am ready for any challenge in 2017,” Gumbo said.
The outspoken politician also said he will serve the people of Siaya county once he is given the mandate to become their next county boss.
“I will replicate my good performance in Rarieda constituency in the entire county. My bid for Siaya governor is unstoppable. The noise from my critics won’t scare me,” he said.
Gumbo warned Orange Democratic Movement leaders against endorsing anyone for the seat saying everyone deserves to compete favourably.
“Every contestant must be given a chance to compete and the electorate should have the opportunity to vet candidates,” Gumbo said.
Other leaders present at the fundraiser were MCAs Joseph Kawuor (Yala Township), Christopher Apiyo (South Uyoma) and Booker Otieno (East Gem).
