ODM says there's no leadership changes in Kakamega

The clarification comes days after Kakamega ODM chairman Mophat Mandela announced his resignation from the position on Friday, April 7.

In front of the party delegates, Mandela said that he was quitting the position as he seconded the county boss Fernandes Barasa to be his successor.

Barasa went ahead to claim the position as he affirmed the full support of the party.

"I want to accept the role given to me by all the chairpersons. Raila Odinga called to congratulate me for being elected as the chairman in Kakamega," Barasa said.

The party deputy chairman in the region Wickliffe Oparanya and Kakamega woman representative Elsie Muhanda however read mischief in the purported elections as Oparanya declined to endorse the new chairman.
