Reports have now emerged highlighting why former Diplomat Sam Ongeri defected from Jubilee to ODM.
According to sources privy to the matter, Ongeri quit the rulling coalition over the handling of TNA campaigns in the region during the last general elections.
TNA was the main political party used by President Uhuru Kenyatta in 2013.
The defection has been seen by pundits as big blow to President Uhuru Kenyatta considering that Ongeri was his close confidant.
Further details indicate that Ongeri paid both for life membership and application fees to the ODM party on Tuesday last week.
The former MP is eyeing the Kisii senatorial seat on the party's ticket on an ODM ticket following the defection of current Senator Chris Obure.
Ongeri was officially received by Odinga on Monday at a rally held at the Gusii stadium.
The rally was attended by NASA partners Musalia Mudavadi among other top ODM officials.
