Otuoma, who two months ago hinted at ditching the orange party said he would work with ODM party leader Raila Odinga ahead of the 2017 general election.

"Nobody can win this war alone," he said during the burial of legendary former Gor Mahia and Harambee Stars goalkeeper James Sianga in Ugenya, Siaya County on Saturday.

"Let us regroup and work together. There is a lot that we are going to discuss. Raila I wish you success."

Otuoma in July together with Budalang'i MP Ababu Namwamba and his Sirisia counterpart John Waluke announced their departure from ODM.

The three argued they were dissatisfied with the way affairs at Orange House were being run.

They immediately formed a movement, 'Third Force', which they said aimed at uniting the Luhya community ahead of the fourth coming polls.

The MPs toured parts of Western and Coast regions popularizing the political outfit.

The movement however, received a blow after Waluke decamped to the newly formed Jubilee Party led by President Uhuru Kenyatta.

Otuoma's return to ODM now leaves Ababu alone in the movement.

"We are together and we are one people," Otuoma said.

"These differences are domestic and we will sort them out. It's only that people like interfering with our affairs. As young men, we will guard Raila."

He said he has always supported Mr Odinga and he will not deviate from that.

"Am still in ODM and I have made my stand. We have a big battle ahead of us. We are going to have time to speak on how to move forward together."
