Stung by the simmering rebellion in the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), party leader Raila Odinga has planned a series of meetings with party supporters in Luo Nyanza.
And Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero has caused political excitement, with youthful MPs dubbed Nyanza Young Turks and led by Kisumu Central MP Ken Obura, saying Nyanza should change its politics and stop being in the Opposition but form a coalition with the winning team in 2017 so the region can be economically empowered.
