Just hours after declaring his support for Imran Okoth in the upcoming Kibra by-elections, COTU Secretary General Francis Atwoli joined the ODM brigade in druming up support for Imran.
Atwoli together with Makadara MP George Aladwa joined Imran who had a meeting with members of the Luhyia Community. Also present was ODM Youth Affairs director Benson Musungu.
“Bernard Otieno Okoth Imran was today joined in his campaign by the COTU Secretary General Francis Atwoli. Together with Hon. George Aladwa and Director Youth Affairs Benson Musungu, the leaders met members of the Luhya Community in Kibra who pledged to support Imran on 7/11,” Read a statement by ODM on Twitter.
On Wednesday during a live interview on Citizen TV’s JKL, Atwoli predicted an easy win for Imran in Kibra. The trade unionist stated that Jubilee’s Macdonald Mariga does not stand a chance against Imran who is seeking to take over from his late brother Ken Okoth.
According to Atwoli, Jubilee were wasting their resources on Mariga who he referred to as a ‘Wrong Horse’.
“I have never predicted something that never came to pass, by 10 am, Imran will be the MP for Kibra, take it to the bank,” said Atwoli.
Party Leader Raila Odinga will join the rest on November 3 when ODM hold’s a Mega rally for Imran at the Kamukunji Grounds.
