Orange Democratic Movement(ODM) party leader Raila Odinga’s son and daughters, on Sunday, made a triumphant entry to Woodley ground, Kibra, to drum up support for the Orange party candidate Bernard Imran Okoth.
Raila Junior Odinga, Rosemary Odinga and Winnie Odinga accompanied their father at the mega rally in which the ODM candidate sought to solidify his support base ahead of the by-election set for November 7.
Raila Junior took to his twitter account to say that the ODM candidate had sealed victory saying his rally had brought business activities to a standstill in the area.
The three scions involvement in political rallies sets them apart from the rest who are hardly seen in public.
The Sunday rally attracted a number of politicians across the political divide including the Kirinyaga governor Anne Waiguru, her Machakos, Makueni and Kitui counterparts Alfred Mutua, Kivutha Kibwana and Charity Ngilu respectively.
The leaders reiterated the claims that the ODM candidate represented the Handshake deal between President Uhuru Kenyatta and ODM leader Raila Odinga.

The Jubilee candidate Mcdonald Mariga also had a parallel rally at DC grounds where Deputy President William Ruto was the chief guest.
The DP, while addressing the crowd, assured residents that the coming election will be peaceful saying the government is well set to ensure any abnormality is contained.
The Kibra race has attracted more than 20 candidates who are set to lock horns in their bids to clinch the seat.
The seat fell vacant after the death of Ken Okoth who succumbed to colorectal cancer in July.
