Siaya Senator James Orengo who led a team of party officials in escorting Karan to present his papers at Sega township said the Handshake between their leader Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta had given them political impetus.

President Kenyatta’s Jubilee Party announced it will support the ODM candidate.

“It will be a bruising campaign and all of us will be here to ensure Karan gets back his seat,” Orengo said.
