“It is Mr. Ochillo Ayacko,” this was the message we passed today at Minyenya primary, Thim Lich, Matoso beach and Migori Bus park. ODM, through our party processes and by the will of the people, believe Mr. Ochilo best represents the interests of the people. pic.twitter.com/zpJxc9HsXV

Urged our supporters & Kenyans at large to resist the influence of money in our politics. The quality of leadership should be on the basis of ideologies. This country is not for sale but for selfless leadership. pic.twitter.com/CUYehSBWgO
