Call for a united Luo Nation as ODM convenes Mega Rally in Kisumu

The Luo Community has been urged to remain united before, during and after the next year’s polls.

The Call for the Luo Community rented the air as speaker after speaker during the today’s ODM Mega Rally spoke passionately about the need for the community to remain united as left by the departed Party Leader Raila Odinga.

Addressing a mammoth crowd at Kisumu’s Kirembe Grounds, ODM National Chairman Gladys Wanga fire the first salvo for the importance of the community to remain as one.

Wanga underscored the need for true unity, adding that the spirit of disunity must be shunned at all cost.

She says the community is there in ODM Party to stay, adding that plans are underway to fully strengthen it ahead of next year’s polls for proper negotiations with the like-minded political parties including the ruling UDA Party.

Wanga says they are rooting for two terms for President William Ruto’s re-election during the next year’s general elections.

The ODM Party National Chairperson says previous regimes cheated them as a community, adding that the current regime is the only one that has fully considered the Luo Community through the Broad Based Government under President William Ruto

Wanga has faulted the Opposition claiming that it has no focus with the clear agenda for the country.

She has urged the other faction of the ODM Party who has rebelled to make a come-back to the party with an aim of strengthening it ahead of next year’s polls.

ODM Party Leader Dr Oburu Oginga says  the Party must remain strong ahead of next year’s general election slated for August.

Oburu says he does not want disunity within the ODM Party, adding that he is really working smart to ensure that it remain united before, during and after the next year’s polls.

Oburu has defended himself being the ODM Party leader, adding that he did not elect himself in that position but was proposed and seconded by both his two Deputies Simba Arati and Abdulswamad Nassir.

“I don’t want disunity in the ODM Party and if I realize that I can be the one who can cause disunity then I am ready to relinquish the party leader position,” Dr. Oburu says.

Both the Deputy Party leaders Simba Arati and the Party’s Acting Secretary General   Catherine Omanyo have underscored the need for the party to remain fully united under Dr Oburu as its leader.

Kisumu Governor Prof Anyang’ Nyong’o says supporting President Ruto for his second and final term in office is not the main issue, adding that the issue is whether the current regime does the right things to the people of Kenya.

He underscores the need for provision of firm foundation for the development across the country.

Nyong’o says strong political parties normally form governments, adding that there is need to fully build ODM as a stronger political party with an aim of capturing power.
