A section of elders from the Luo community have rejected plans for elections to be held to replace the chairman of the Luo Council of Elders Willis Otindi who died in February.

The elders from a rival faction of the council, led by Ker Nyandiko Ongadi, said they were preparing to challenge the matter in court as they accused Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition leader Raila Odinga of meddling in their activities.
