ground to popularize the candidature of Jack Ranguma as the next Governor of
Kisumu County in the forthcoming polls in August, We therefore appeal to the
residents of Kisumu County to overwhelmingly vote him as our Governor,” they
say.

residents of Kisumu County to fully vote for the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya
