ODM STRATEGY TO GET MORE VOTES IN 2017

The Orange Democratic Movement ODM Party has devised a new way to ensure that their supporters are registered and ready for the 2017 General Election.

Led by Kisumu Governor Jack Ranguma, the Orange Party leaders promised to give cash donations to Ward offices with the highest number of registered voters.

On Sunday, Mr Ranguma gave a whopping Sh1 Million to ODM deputy party leader Hassan Joho to be handed to the best ODM office in terms of voter registration.

“We want our people to register in big numbers for elections come 2017 so that we can realise the much-hyped dream of CORD leader Raila Odinga becoming President,” Ranguma was quoted by the Standard.

Mombasa Governor indicated that the program would be rolled out in the Coastal region before the end of the year in a bid to ensure that their people are well equipped to force the Jubilee Government out of power.

Other leaders including Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero, Migori’s Okoth Obado and Siaya’s Cornel Rasanga have also promised to embrace the strategy in their counties.

The leaders have also vowed to enter into more rigorous campaigns in their areas to attract more followers.

ODM Secretary General Agnes Zani noted: "We want as many people as possible to register for elections so that we can combine our strength to push the Jubilee regime out of power."

Why Joho will fail you in 2017,Duale tell Raila

Majority Leader of the National Assembly Aden Duale on Sunday warned ODM leader Raila Odinga that Mombasa Governor Ali Hassan Joho would ruin his chances of becoming the President of Kenya in 2017.

Addressing residents of Changamwe in Mombasa, Duale announced that if Odinga picks Joho as his running mate instead of either Kalonzo Musyoka or Moses Wetangula, he was destined to fail in his presidential bid.

“Ati running mate yako ni Joho ndo utaanguka ile mbaya kabisa… Ati unawacha Kalonzo Musyoka ako na karibu 1.5 Millio Kuras… Unawacha huyu wetangula mluhya… hujawahi kuanguka… Utaanguka until you break your skull,” Duale affirmed.

Loosely translated: “If you chose Joho as your running mate and drop Kalonzo and Wetangula, You will miserably fail in 2017.”

Duale's sentiments come a day after some ODM leaders proposed, during a recent rally in Kisumu County, that Joho ought to be Odinga's running mate.

The Orange party has maintained that among the three CORD co-principals, Raila is the best-suited candidate to challenge President Kenyatta in the upcoming polls.

Kalonzo and Wetangula have urged Odinga to drop his presidential ambition and give either of them a chance since he had tried several times and failed.
