Monday, September 16, 2024 – ODM leaders have cautioned Kenyans against celebrating former Prime Minister Raila Odinga's potential African Union Commission (AUC) victory prematurely, warning it could bring bad luck.
Speaking to the press in
Kisumu, Kisumu Woman Representative Ruth Odinga emphasized that it is too early
to celebrate, as Raila Odinga has not yet won.
Kisumu County Deputy
Governor Mathews Owili and Kisumu Central MP Joshua Oron echoed Ruth Odinga's
sentiment, criticizing those stating that Raila had already won the AUC chair
position.
“There is excitement, but
we would like to urge caution, we would want to urge sobriety,” said Owili.
Ruth stated that since
Kenyan supporters of Raila Odinga will not participate in the voting process,
the best they can do is remember him in their prayers.
This followed the
unanimous endorsement of the Governor of Kisumu, Anyang' Nyong'o, as the
interim party leader by the Kisumu County ODM leadership.
"As the pioneer
Secretary General, Prof. Nyong'o is the best fit to steer the Party forward,
given his exemplary and distinguished service," the leaders said.
