WIFE OF RUTO’S TOP ALLY ENDORSES RAILA ODINGA

A Kenya Kwanza sitting governor’s wife has confirmed that she will be campaigning for Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Presidential candidate Raila Odinga and not Deputy President William Ruto.

Migori Governor Okoth Obado’s wife Hellen Obado has said she is going to vote for Raila Odinga come August 9.

Hellen will also be asking her supporters to stand with Raila and not DP Ruto, her husband’s preferred choice ahead of the election.

She said her one vote is firmly secured for Raila despite her husband being DP Ruto’s Nyanza region coordinator.

According to media reports, Obado’s wife made the remarks on Thursday, June 2 when she was cleared to run for the Migori Woman Representative seat as an independent candidate.

More so, she also introduced herself as Hellen Adhiambo Odie, avoiding her husband’s name, Obado.

“Raila is vying for president. I am vying as a woman representative but he has my vote,” Helen said as reported by the Star.

She also promised that she will be partly campaigning for Raila Odinga.

According, being an independent candidate demands more effort, which is the main reason why she is not going to fully campaign for Raila.

“I wish to fully campaign for Odinga but I will not give him my full support because I am independent and working harder to sell my sweet potato agenda,” she added.

While Hellen has decided to support Raila, Obado on Madaraka Day promised to stand with DP Ruto all the way. He also challenged Azimio’s team to come out and deny whether they have never stolen public resources.

According to him, Azimio is made up of hypocrites who focus on DP Ruto and brand him names yet they are not clean
