Odinga’s allies led by ODM Deputy Party leader and Mombasa governor Hassan Ali Joho have been in the area since Monday campaigning for their candidate.
Ayacko is facing a stiff competition from Federal Party’s Eddy Oketch who is Governor Okoth Obado’s preference.
Several Odinga defectors led by Lawyer Miguna Miguna have been seen campaigning for Oketch.

Obado is still in detention for Sharon Otieno’s Murder case and will be due in court on Monday, the same day scheduled for senatorial by-elections in Migori.
The senate seat was declared vacant after the demise of Senator Ben Oluoch in June 2018.
