ODM Party has been blasted for taking credits in Jubilee Party’s Ahmed Kolosh win in the just concluded Wajir West Constituency by-elections.
The former ODM member got 11,053 votes as his closest rival Sheikh Ibrahim (KANU) came a distant second with 6,532 votes.
Kolosh decamped from ODM after the Supreme Court nullified his election in January 2019.
However, the Raila Odinga-led Party congratulated Ahmed Kolosh for winning the Wajir West by-elections.
ODM through its official twitter account wrote a congratulatory message to Kolosh.
The Party however indicated that it is the one that had introduced Kolosh to serious politics.
“Congratulations Hon. Ahmed Kolosh on recapturing the Wajir West parliamentary seat. We are glad to have been associated with you and introduced to serious politics. Time to serve your people now,” the message read.
However, their Congratulatory message seems to have hit a rock as Kenyans on twitter took it on, trolling ODM for being so desperate.
They blasted ODM for saying that they were glad to have associated with Kolosh.
Some told the Party off, arguing that Kolosh’s win was as a result of Deputy President William Ruto’s efforts.
Here are some of the reactions.
