Bungoma's ODM gubernatorial candidate Alfred Khang'ati has stated that he will campaign for President Uhuru Kenyatta in the lead up to the October election.
Khang’ati expressed his dissatisfaction with ODM leader Raila Odinga's treatment in the lead up to the August elections.
On Tuesday, he spoke at Centrica Hotel in Bungoma town following a meeting with several leaders and said that he is confident more ODM members will also support the Jubilee Party.
"We are tired of being played by our party leader Raila Odinga and Ford Kenya leader Moses Wetang'ula. All ODM aspirants in Bungoma were not assisted financially or morally by our party leaders or coalition partners in the last elections," he said as quoted by the Daily Nation.
He added that it was not mandatory for members of the ODM party in Bungoma to campaign for Odinga ahead of the October 17 elections.
"We have got a life to live we can't be chained by two individuals, Wetang'ula has been favoured by Nasa presidential candidate Raila Odinga to run his campaigns in Bungoma County. ODM leaders here have no business being flower girls in a wedding to be conducted mid-October," said Mr Khang'ati, who came third in the gubernatorial contest.
