CORD leader Raila Odinga has in recent weeks stepped up efforts to win back the support he once enjoyed in the North Rift.

The ODM leader has made numerous visits to the area, and during a tour of Deputy President William Ruto’s Uasin Gishu backyard on Tuesday, he made it clear that if his party is elected, it would improve security and address many of the problems that local people face.
