Oparanya says all are needed
in ODM and Azimio as Party delegates
endorse Nyong’o
We need all people in both Orange Democratic Movement{ODM} Party
and the Azimio Movement so as to move as a team ahead of the Polls slated in August this year, ODM Deputy Party leader has
said.
Oparanya says the issue where some ODM Party officials in some parts of the country claim
that they have already been issued with nomination certificates is not there, adding that the party's primaries is schedule to take place.
Addressing the delegates of ODM Party in Kisumu County today
at Tom Mboya Labour College, the ODM Deputy Party leader said such claims can
scare away some aspirants who recently joined the party and want to run for
various positions.
He says the party will hold its nomination process and
will have its candidates to be the flag bearers in various seats during the
August 9 polls.
He says for now the ODM Party and the Azimio La Umoja in
general needs everyone across the country so as to be a formidable team.
Oparanya also has dismissed claims that he is not fully
supporting his party leader Raila Odinga’s quest for the Country’s top seat,
adding that he is fully behind the ODM Party leader until the end.
“Some people are busy going round the country telling
electorates that I am not fully supporting my party leader Raila Amollo Odinga,
I want to tell you that I am fully supporting him till the end,” Oparanya says.
Oparanya says he was there during the formation of the ODM
Party in the year 2005 and will go nowhere, adding that those who think he will leave
the party will be in for a rude shock.
He says only Odinga is the one who can bring the change the country
yearns for when he clinch the Presidency during the forthcoming polls, adding that he is optimistic that Odinga will win the polls in round one.
The ODM Deputy Party leader has appealed to all its members at
the grass root level to ensure that its supporters register as voters and
participate during the August Polls, adding that Odinga needs to win with a
landslide during the first round of the polls.
“Registration of voters is currently done at the IEBC
offices at the constituency level and we therefore urge all our supporters to
still go there and get registered as voter for the forthcoming polls.
Meanwhile, the ODM delegates have fully endorsed Kisumu Governor
Prof Anyang Nyong’o to be its flag bearer for the gubernatorial seat for the
second term.
The delegates unanimously endorsed Prof Nyong’o to run for
the Governor in second term having been elected as the second Governor for
Kisumu in 2017.
Kisumu Governor in his speech urges the people to register
in large number in readiness for the August polls.
