ODM party leader Raila Odinga has taken the first step to unite Gusii leaders after the bitter campaigns in the May 18 Bonchari by-election.

There have been calls to unite the Gusii political leadership, especially at a time when Jubilee and ODM leaders are involved in talks to form a coalition ahead of the 2022 General Election.

Plans to have a Gusii political kingpin fell apart after the Bonchari mini poll.
