Dadaab MP Mohamed Dahiye has assured ODM he will be reelected on a Kanu party ticket following his fall out with the Orange party.
Dahiye said he does not regret leaving the Raila Odinga-led party, citing continuous squabbles among top party members as reason for his departure from the country’s largest party going by Parliamentary representation.
Two weeks ago, he led a delegation of elders from his constituency to State House for talks with President Uhuru Kenyatta where he pledged support for Jubilee and the president’s reelection bid.
Kanu, which he joined, is a partner to Jubilee Party led by Uhuru.
His departure now leaves Balambala MP Abdikadir Aden as ODM’s point man in Garissa, a county where Jubilee is making inroads to influence voting patterns come August 8.
The outspoken legislator is among the latest elected leaders from North Eastern Kenya to join Jubilee ahead of the August polls.
At the time of his departure, Dahiye said parties constituting the National Super Alliance (NASA) were ‘confused’.
“ODM which I belonged to, ANC Ford Kenya and others are still confused and don’t know who among the principals will be the flag-bearer,” he said ahead of the naming of NASA presidential line up.
He expressed confidence Jubilee will win majority votes in Garissa County and the larger North Eastern region.
