As National Coalition Executive Council Chairman of Azimio, I take this opportunity to sincerely thank our supporters in Western region for delivering votes and majority of elective seats to our Presidential candidate Rt Hon
@RailaOdinga
in the just concluded General Elections.
This is to NOTIFY the general public that my Facebook page has been hacked by agents of doom.
IGNORE any post on my Facebook page as we await
@DCI_Kenya
to handle the matter and restore it.
Thank you.
As Azimio files its case seeking to overturn presidential elections results, I ask the country to put former PM
@RailaOdinga
in prayers.
Our victory was delayed but soon we will have it.
Spent the day attending Rt Hon Raila Odinga's Presidential
Campaign Board meeting in Nairobi.
I urge Azimio supporters to ignore propaganda being spread my detractors who are uncomfortable with Azimio wave sweeping the country & my firm stand behind Baba's bid for presidency.
As a Azimio Coalition, we have accepted the outcome of the General Elections and we are ready to play our Opposition roles effectively to put checks & balances on Kenya Kwanza Govt.
Azimio leaders joining Kenya Kwanza should stop as the move is a plot to weaken the Opposition.
IEBC decision to suspend gubernatorial elections in Kakamega and Mombasa counties is a scheme to rig the elections.
I question why they had to stop gubernatorial elections in Azimio presidential candidate Rt Hon
@RailaOdinga
strongholds & backyards of two key
@TheODMparty
DPLs.
Those who claim Kericho is the bedroom of Kenya Kwanza are wrong.
With the heroic reception the Azimio presidential candidate Rt Hon
@RailaOdinga
, his running mate Hon
@MarthaKarua
and us received has confirmed otherwise.
Kericho is ready for real change. Asanteni sana!!!
I am impressed by the investor and the progress he has made to revive Mumias Sugar Company.
The factory has started crushing cane giving hope to cane farmers in the region.
In few days your favourite sugar (Mumias Sugar) from the Mill will be on the shelves.
Hosting Azimio Presidential candidate Rt Hon
@RailaOdinga
at my Mabole home in Butere tonight as we ready ourselves for a vigorous campaign for our Kakamega gubernatorial candidate

and his running mate Hon
@HonAyubSavula
.
Congratulations Hon
@MarthaKarua
on your appointment as Azimio presidential candidate Rt Hon
@RailaOdinga
's running mate and first Deputy President to be.
The choice of Hon Karua is an inspiration to women and Kenyans at large.
The Baraza- Savula gubernatorial ticket has been sealed this evening. I take this opportunity to thank Hon Savula for shelving his ambition in favour of FCPA
@BarasaFernandes
I thank Hon
@RailaOdinga
too for his role in this deal.
We will deliver Kakamega County to Azimio.
When I took over as the first Kakamega Governor I established that road network was in a deplorable state.
I unveiled an ambitious programme of constructing the roads especially those in rural areas; My government has been able to tarmac over; 54km of road and gravelled 1200km.
I humbly request my PL former PM Hon
@RailaOdinga
to support my presidential bid in the 2022 General Elections.
With his support, my development record and reaching out to other national leaders for their support, I am confident of becoming the fifth President of this Country.
A day after
@TheODMparty
bagged four MPs and several MCAs who defected from ANC to the Orange party, I took campaigns to popularize Azimio la Umoja and presidential bid of former PM Rt Hon
@RailaOdinga
to Mumias town and the reception was overwhelming.
Happy Birthday the Fifth; Rt Hon
@RailaOdinga
. You are a wonderful leader, mentor, and role model.
On your Birthday, I wish you all the best and success in all your endeavors and bid to be the Fifth President.
Today, I will lead Governors, MPs and Senators from Western for a meeting with CS Dr Fred Matiang'i and his 5 colleagues to discuss development projects and economic revitalization of the region. Western is a reservoir of resources that if tapped adequately can change livelihoods
I am being hosted on
@citizentvkenya
Prime News. Our discussion is centred on Azimio la Umoja Movement, Rt Hon Raila Odinga's presidency and Luhyia politics.
I am previledged to host former Prime Minister and Party Leader Rt Hon
@RailaOdinga
at my Mabole home in Butere.
Baba landed here a short while ago and I will have dinner with him before we have a consultative meeting to discuss issues of national importance.
I'm greatly honoured & humbled by my election today as the incoming chairman of the COG. Let's strengthen devolution for rapid develpmnt of our beloved country is REAL. Let's all join hands with the National Government to ensure we successfully implement the Big 4 Agenda.
And when you pray, do not keep on babbling like pagans, for they think they will be heard because of their many words. Do not be like them, for your Father knows about what you need before you ask. (Matthew 6:7-8).
After lengthy deliberations and negotiations with 3
@TheODMparty
aspirants for the Kakamega Senatorial seat, we have reached a consensus that Dr Brian Lishenga will fly the party's ticket.
I have submitted my application papers for
@TheODMparty
presidential ticket & I'm hopeful that I will win the party's presidential nominations.
I've met all requirements & qualifications for presidential nomination & I have all what it takes to clinch the party's ticket.
They came in numbers to affirm their loyalty to Baba na Martha. Bukhungu Stadium was lit today.
Thank you Azimio supporters for showing your love for our candidate Rt Hon
@RailaOdinga
The re-launch of Nairobi-Kisumu-Butere railway line is a big boost to the economy and it will provide alternative means of transport to our people.
Joined Prime Minister Hon
@RailaOdinga
for a ride on the train from Fort Tenan in Kericho to Kisumu.
My Government has made a tremendous progress in construction of the Sh6 billion Kakamega Teaching and Referral Hospital.
We are on our way to realizing my dream of making Kakamega County a medical hub upon completion of the mega health facility.
Our campaigns for Azimio presidential candidate Rt Hon
@RailaOdinga
today started at Malimili grounds in Shinyalu Sub County.
Accompanied by 9 MPs aligned to Azimio will address campaign rallies at Emusala in Lurambi Sub County then end at Shikuli in Mumias East Sub County.
It is with great sadness that have I learnt of the death of comedian Charles Bukeko popularly known as Papa Shirandula .
The cruel hand of death has robbed the comedy industry an iconic figure whose comedy did not only entertain but was also educative to many generations.
I'm particularly impressed by Kakamega people for living to their word by delivering 11 out of 15 parliamentary seats, 48 MCAs seats to Azimio and majority votes to Odinga.
I take this opportunity to congratulate all MPs for the victory and their support for Baba.
#Inawezekana

I joined Azimio la Umoja leader Rt Hon

Mashinani rally at Ihura stadium in Murang'a County. The mammoth crowd that showed up to affirm their support confirm that the former PM has made a breakthrough in Mt Kenya region.
