Kisumu Governor Jack Ranguma has appealed for
peaceful campaigns before, during and after ODM Party Nominations slated for
Kisumu County this April 24.
Ranguma says peaceful campaigns are very vital for all the
residents of the county as well as to the investors who want to undertake some
investments within the county.
He says he is optimistic that the ODM party National
Elections Board will iron out some of the issues that have been raised by
various candidates in regard to the forthcoming nomination process.
Already a number of aspirants for the various seats have
raised issues such as that of merging bigger polling stations with smaller ones
during the nomination exercise as well as accusing the National Elections Board
of appointing cronies of some aspiring leaders to man the party’s primaries in
Kisumu County.
Ranguma says he strongly believes that the underlying issues
will be solved in an amicable manner before the ODM party Nominations.
“I am very much confident that the ODM party National
Elections Board will be able to solve the issues raised so far by some of the
candidates ahead of the party’s nominations exercise,” Ranguma says.
He urges the residents of Kisumu County to come out in large
numbers so as to participate in the ODM party’s nomination process and vote him
as the party’s candidate in the August 8 polls where he will be re-elected for
his second and final term in office as the Kisumu Governor.
On the issue of the recently released polls opinion by the
Info Track on Kisumu County Gubernatorial race, Ranguma has rubbished his
opponent’s claims that he manipulated the results of the polls opinion which
placed him at 58.7percent.
Ranguma says he has always been rated between 60 to 80
percent by the public hence he is the one who should
complain that he has been rated below his expectation.
On the issue of his running mate for the next election,
Ranguma has said that will be dealt with when the opportune time comes at the
right time.
