Wrangles in leadership of the Luo Council of Elders are expected to end up in court after a section of the council planned to challenge an election being planned to elect another chairman of the council.

Azimio Leader Raila Odinga last month announced that Luo elders will elect a new chairman of the council this month, following the death of former chairman Opiyo Otondi in February this year. The newly elected chairman may be unveiled at the beginning of next month.
