Don’t mess with K’Oyoo’s
victory, Muhoroni residents tells ODM
THE Orange Democratic Movement {ODM} Party has been told not
to tamper with the victory of Muhoroni Member of Parliament James Onyango K’Oyoo
who won the Party’s primary as the MP nominee.
The residents have said that there is no way their Member of
Parliament who had earlier been declared as the winner and handed over an
interim certificate of nomination on April 19 can be again denied to be its
flag in the August 9 polls.
Addressing the press after staging a peaceful protest where
they lit bone fires along Kisumu-Nairobi Road near Ngere Kagoro area within
Muhoroni constituency today to protest the ODM tribunal decision to nullify the
nomination of the current Member of Parliament James Onyango K’Oyoo, the
residents vowed not to relent until the tribunal rescind such a decision.
Abdala Otieno said K’Oyoo was declared the winner as the ODM
Nominee for Muhoroni constituency hence there is no way he can be denied such a
resounding victory.
“We appeal to the National Elections Board of ODM party to
kindly give the certificate of nomination to the winner who is our current
Member of Parliament James Onyango K’Oyoo who won the nomination freely and
fairly,” he says.
Former Councillor Joseph Ogut says the people of Muhoroni
voted overwhelmingly for K’Oyoo and they need that to be respected.
He says they will surely vote for Raila Odinga as the next
President of Kenya, adding that their will to elect the Member of Parliament
should be too respected.
George Okoth Oleche says K’Oyoo won with a landslide and was
ahead of his opponent and should be handed over the nomination certificate by
the ODM Party.
The residents of Muhoroni constituency today protested peacefully
in a number of areas within the constituency after the ODM party Tribunal made
a decision of nullifying the nomination for the position of the Member of Parliament
while ordering a repeat for the process in the entire constituency.
“We want peace to continue prevailing in Muhoroni
constituency and we ask ODM Party leader to intervene and save the situation by
ensuring that K’Oyoo is given the ticket to run as ODM Candidate,” they say.
