“Who said I left the party? I’m a life member of ODM who is still remitting monthly subscriptions. I am the Homa Bay branch secretary,”This statement by former Homa Bay Gubernatorial Aspirant Oyugi Magwanga have all but confirmed his current political state.
Magwanga had long legal-battles with current Governor Cyprian Awiti after he termed Awiti’s win an electoral fraud.
With Magwanga now declaring he is a lifetime member of ODM, Kasipul ODM branch leadership on Sunday said it is ready to welcome back the former MP to the party.

“As ODM Kasipul ODM branch leadership we wish to extend an olive branch to our former MP Oyugi Magwanga who contested the ODM Homa Bay Governor’s position as an independent candidate,” he said.
“We want to strengthen the party before the next election. We also wish to extend an olive branch to other leaders who might have felt short-changed and joined other parties.”
