Ambition killed because of a surname, the Siaya issue was so different from the Ksm one!!!

.......would have been the 1st woman governor!!!!

Better for the perception that they were trying to form a dynasty in this age and era.

Her courage and common sense is admirable, she has emerged bigger, people judged by her surname, campaigned on her at one time even ran out of campaign cash, I am proud of her!

Rigging her in has backfired. There's nothing to celebrate regarding her announcement. What with riots in kisumu against her?

This is gud, now can Oburu also do the right thing and step aside.

He can sit on his sofas with "vitamba za kushonwa" and enjoy his pension. leave the future to the youth.

That's what you think, shame of the men who didn't have balls enough to compete and resorted to hiring drunk youth to riot!!!!

I still do not understand why Ruth, Oburu, Castro, and other Odinga family members fee they must run for any elective post when Raila is also running for president. And dont tell me its their democratic right. Nkt

Can her bro from kibera do the same? That would be better than someone who withdraws after her rigging hits the rock bottom.

1. Do RAO's siblings have rights, as Kenyan citizen, under our constitution to vie for elective positions?

2. Does RAO have a legal or constitutional right to block his siblings from vying for elective posts just because he is a Presidential candidate?
...
3. Who has to power to decide on whether someone gets an elective position or not? Is a single vote out of several able to block a candidate?

4. Do you know what 'lobbying for enough' votes mean?

5. If I do not vote for a particular candidate, does it mean that that particular candidate that I do not vote for will loose?

Mcr, the stuff you are saying is nonsense and you know it. While RAO's siblings have rights, if too many of them try for elective posts, it only seems like they are trying to take advantage of their bro's position in ODM and simply breeds resentment. You then have guys shouting TNA slogans in ODMs stronghold! It is worth thinking about and please shove aside the constitution blah blah! Oh, and I support RAO
