Siaya Deputy Governor Dr. William Oduol has officially announced his intention to unseat Siaya Governor James Orengo in the 2027 General Election.
Oduol also revealed that he will seek the mandate on an ODM party ticket, setting the stage for a fierce contest that will begin at the party nomination level.
The Deputy Governor, who has largely operated outside his office for the past three and a half years following a fallout with Governor Orengo, accused the current administration of failing to deliver on its promises.
“I would like to state that today I have declared officially my candidacy for Governor of Siaya County on an ODM ticket. I’m presenting myself for nominations and thereafter offer myself to contest against the rest of the other candidates. I’m going to contest in the ODM nominations, hopefully with James Orengo, na mimi nangoja yeye,” Oduol said.
“The manifesto that we have in Siaya County was largely my manifesto. I actually developed it, and unfortunately that manifesto as not been implemented. I am therefore taking this opportunity and imploring and asking the rest of the citizenry and residents of Siaya County to elect me in 2027 so that the new Siaya dream can be actualized, and the 9-point agenda in the manifesto can be implemented,” the Deputy Governor added.
