Before January 2017, Kisumu County assembly speaker Onyango Oloo was one of the most hated people in in the region because of supporting President Uhuru Kenyatta.
Oloo, who was an influential figure in President Kenyatta's 2013 victory, changed course and his move sent political shock waves across Kisumu.
The man who masterminded Kenyatta's win in 2013 shocked everyone when he decamped to ODM, the party he had been tormenting for the four years he was in TNA, where he served as the Secretary General.
When he went back 'home', Oloo claimed that he had 'secrets' which would ensure Raila is elected President.
Oloo's so called 'secrets' endeared him to the residents making him a ' man of the people'. He was no longer the Oloo of old days who had become a political outcast in Nyanza.
He vied for the Kisumu Central MP seat, but lost to Fred Ouda in the ODM nominations. Though he lost the contest, Oloo reignited his political career in the region.
He was eventually elected Kisumu County Assembly Speaker making him the man to watch ahead of the 2022 elections.
