Raila under pressure to replace the Late Senator Kajwang'

Just a few days after the burial of the late Senator Otieno  Kajwang' the succession is slowly heating as to who will be best suited to replace the late senator. With no official communication from the Party on the elections, CORD leaders led by Odinga's strong holds' Member of Parliament representing Kibra Constituency Kennedy Okoth via his Twitter handle, he posted "My first choice for Homa Bay Senator is the Rt. Hon Raila Amolo Odinga. There comes a time ; the time is now " His sentiments were echoed by Nyatike Mp Anyanga otieno when he held a press briefing in Nairobi.

Some of the leaders who supported the move said that his vast experience as political leader is much needed in the Kenya political arena since he has served in the government for along time and he delivered his promises to the people and it would be a honorable thing to do adding to the fact that the Late Kajwang' was one of Raila's closest allies

However a section of the supporters did not support the move claiming that Raila is best set to serve at his capacity as the defacto opposition Leader rather than as just a mere senator with some claiming that Odinga hails from Siaya County and must not indulge in politics of Homa Bay county where the Late senator was representing at the time of his death.
Consultations are on going within the party as to who will best represent Homa Bay county after the demise of their senator.
