Said Hon. Mbadi. The  chairman  visited Musiro ward in Kajiado West Constituency to show solidarity and support to ODM candidate who was picked on agreement by the Kurko clan to carry the mantle as the ODM candidate in the upcoming elections in Masiro ward.
He was accompanied by Governor David Nkendianye,
Pareno Judith -chairlady for Elections Board and Oduor On'gwen-Executive Director among others.
He encouraged them to vote ODM as away of bringing change they have yawned for in the ward and entire county.
