Jalang’o: Winnie’s entry makes Nairobi Senate race more exciting

Jalang’o, who is also eyeing the seat, said Winnie’s entry had raised the stakes in a contest that is expected to attract several aspirants

Lang’ata MP Felix Odiwuor, popularly known as Jalang’o, has welcomed East African Legislative Assembly MP Winnie Odinga’s entry into the Nairobi Senate race, describing the contest as more exciting and competitive.

He, however, maintained that her decision to join the race had not affected his ambition to clinch the seat, regardless of who else joins the contest.

“Winnie’s entry into the race makes it even more exciting, competitive and serious because the other people who announced their bid were not as serious. Baba (Raila) did not bring us up to be afraid of anything. We are going to the wire. There is no giving up,” Jalang’o stated.

Winnie officially declared her intention to contest the Nairobi Senate seat during the first anniversary celebration of her father, former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, at Migwena Grounds in Bondo, Siaya County.
