Opposition coalition NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga's wife Ida Odinga has called on Kenyans to support the outfit during the forthcoming general elections.
Speaking in Kisumu on Saturday, Ida further called on independent candidates and party nomination losers to back the former premier for presidency, noting that he means well for the country.
She, however, conceded that the ODM Party primaries were marred by electoral malpractices, extending an olive branch to aggrieved parties.
“We know what happened in many places, and that primaries did not go well, but we ask God to forgive us,” she noted.
“Politics is a game of democracy where we must have winners and losers. I am asking our brothers and sisters who missed the opportunity to clinch the ODM tickets to let go of their bitterness,” she added.
