The Luhya community has decided to vote for Raila Odinga in 2017 general election, Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya has said.
Oparanya has told President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Jubilee to stop campaigning in the Western Region, saying it is a “Cord zone”.
"We are already preparing for a Raila Odinga presidency next year. Raila must win this time round. Our people are not supporting Uhuru Kenyatta also because of rampant corruption in the Jubilee administration," said the ODM co-deputy party leader.
Oparanya said Raila has the best chance to clinch the presidency in next year’s polls.
He told opposition supporters to avoid in-fights that might scare away other people from joining Raila’s camp.
He also urged ODM supporters from Nyanza and Western regions to register as voters to vote out the Jubilee administration.
"To help Raila win the next elections, we must stop this shameful chaos and destruction of ballot boxes we often witness during party primaries," he said.
