He blamed the duo for what he termed as plotting to bring a rift between him and the ODM leader.

“I am not happy with what happened. The seat which was being fought over is no longer there. There are people here who want to bring a rift between me and Raila.

They want to ensure the governor is seen very far from the (former) Prime Minister,” Obado lamented.

This enraged Odege, who attempted to storm the podium and snatch the microphone from the governor but was restrained by Suna East MP Junet Mohamed and Siaya Senator James Orengo.
