Saturday was an unusual day in Nyando constituency.
Unusual not that something bad occurred, but longtime fierce political rivals shared a platform.
This was during the burial of former Luo Council of Elders member Michael Odote Ojiem.
The late Odote was the Secretary of the famous Council of Elders know for making firm political decision in the lakeside region.
The burial which was attended by Cord leader Raila Odinga attracted politicians from the area and the entire Nyanza region.
Kisumu Governor Jack Ranguma got the opportunity to share a platform with people who have promised to give him a run for his money during the 2017 general election. These included Senator Prof Anyang' Nyong'o and Dr Hezron McObewa.
Nyando MP Fred Outa also after a long time shared a platform with his arch rival Jared Okello who was ejected from the event by rowdy youth.
The fracas was witnessed by Mr Odinga
Eng Otieno Odongo who contested for the Senate seat in 2013, also met his former competitor Senator Prof Anyang' Nyong'o who defeated him in the race.
Several legislators from outside Kisumu County also attended the funeral.
The late Odote was given a send off at his Boya homeland in Nyando sub county.
