ODM has announced that their campaigns will also adhere to the Head of State’s directive.
Msambweni has 68,500 voters — Bongwe/Gombato ward 17,538, Ramisi 18,569, Ukunda 21, 500 and Kinondo 11,014.
Political fireworks that were expected in the much-awaited Msambweni mini-poll have been doused by a government order to suspend rallies.
This comes at a time ODM candidate Omar Boga has revealed that he is in a two-week isolation after testing positive for Covid-19, further slowing down his campaigns. The by-elections are slated for December 15.
