If VETERAN PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE Raila Odinga commands Nyanza as they say, why would he put a strong campaign team against a small boy Eddy Okech in the upcoming October 8 Migori Senatorial by-election?
Why would he do this? I thought this was a walkover for Raila and it did not even require a campaign.
Instead, Raila has assembled all leaders from Luo Nyanza against a young unknown man. The entire Luo Nyanza against a struggling young man.
Why would they fundraise to collect close to Sh30m for the campaigns in a race they considered a a sure bet?
What does this mean? This therefore signposts that if Obado was around, ODM’s Ochillo Ayako would never have won the Migori Senatorial by-Election on August 8. Whatever the results, Eddy will still be the winner.
Going by the forces against him, I don’t expect him to garner even 100 votes. Meaning, if he defies Raila and gets over 1000 votes, yeye ni simba.
This is the dream-team that ODM put together and is already at the ground after declaring war against the 27-year old…

All these political heavyweights against a 27 year old struggling hustler.
