RAO for Homa Bay senate? ODM leader Raila Odinga has called a.meeting of Luo elders at his Opoda home in Bondo Sunday to discuss a wide range of issues, including suggestions by a section of leaders.that he should seek the Homa Bay Senate seat. Despite opposition to the proposal for the former Prime Minister to enter the Senate, some of Mr Odinga’s allies are determined that he contest the seat left vacant by the death last month of one of his key lieutenants, Otieno Kajwang’. The by-election is slated for February 2, but political parties are expected to confirm their candidates by.December 19 in primaries. The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission gave January 5 and 6, 2015 as the dates for receiving nomination papers. The elders being assembled at Mr Odinga’s home Saturday have been carefully selected from the entire region and include elected leaders. The Sunday Nation has learnt the group will include the new ODM chairman and Suba MP John Mbadi,.the Director of Elections and Suna East MP Junet Mohammed, Homa Bay County Woman Representative Gladys Wanga, Homa Bay Central MP Opondo Kaluma, Kasipul MP Oyugi Magwanga, nominated MP Dr Oburu Oginga and at least 50 elders.
