A shocking drama has played out on Sunday before Orange Democratic
Movement Party leader Raila Odinga as an area Governor and a Member of
Parliament (MP) engaged in a physical fight before his very before.
Odinga was forced to intervene and restore order during a rally in Homa Bay County before things became calm again.
Standard reported
that chaos erupted when supporters of area governor Cyprian Awiti and
Kasipul-Kabondo MP Oyugi Magwanga’s clashed at a local stadium on Sunday
after supporters of the two leaders attempted to reach the main dais at
Homa Bay Stadium.
While Awiti’s supporters chanted slogans in support of his
re-election, those of Magwanga, who has declared his interest in the
governor’s seat said he must be voted out next year. And when push came
to shove, a shouting match ensued before it turned physical.
The matter was compounded further when Homa Bay Governor, Cyprian
Awiti and Kasipul-Kabondo MP Oyugi Magwanga started a wrestling match as
Odinga watched in shock. He was forced to interrupt the disgraceful act
and call the men to order.
However, supporters of the fighting leaders hurled stones at them
forcing Kisumu Governor Jack Ranguma and Homa Bay Woman Representative
Gladys Wanga to run for safety.
Fighting had started before Odinga arrived and when he made his way
to the Homa Bay stadium accompanied by Mombasa Governor, Hassan Joho,
they didn’t stop and continued to wrestle on the podium, the Standard
reports.
After the shameful disgrace, Odinga went ahead and took the
microphone and pleaded with the crowd to stop the chaos and let the
rally continue in peace.
