ODM top brass camps in Migori ahead of Obado ouster motion

What you need to know:

  • Suna East MP and National Assembly Minority whip Junet Mohammed travelled to Migori on Thursday evening and held a brief meeting with branch officials.
  • Mr Obado needs to convince only 18 MCAs to oppose the motion so that his rivals do not get the two-thirds number required to oust him.

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) top leadership is today expected in Migori town on a mission to woo its MCAs ahead of next week’s tabling of an impeachment motion against scandal-ridden Governor Okoth Obado. A similar ouster bid failed to take off this week.

Today’s meeting is expected to be attended by all Migori MPs save for Kuria West’s Mathias Robi, who is opposed to the impeachment bid.
