AfricaPress-Kenya:<\/strong> Homa Bay Woman Rep Gladys Wanga and former Trade executive Carelus Ademba clashed over the county gubernatorial succession politics.<\/p>\n

The two differed during the burial of Karachuonyo Constituency ODM Chairman Tedly Ogola at Oriang\u2019 village on Friday after Ademba told Wanga to drop his bid and wait for a Cabinet appointment.<\/p>\n

Ademba who has declared his interest in the seat told Wanga and ODM National Chairman John Mbadi to drop their gubernatorial ambitions and concentrate on the national politics.<\/p>\n

He argued that Wanga and Mbadi will get plum State jobs after the 2022 General Election.<\/p>\n

\u201cWanga is the only charismatic woman in the greater South Nyanza in whom people have hope of becoming a Cabinet Secretary while Mbadi can become the Majority Leader in the National Assembly. Let them concentrate on the national politics,\u201d Ademba said.<\/p>\n

Wanga, however, dismissed Ademba\u2019s claims and insisted that she will contest the gubernatorial seat.<\/p>\n

She argued that Ademba was wrong in telling her a seat she should hold in the country.<\/p>\n

\u201cI will not change my aspiration for the gubernatorial post. Let him prepare for a stiff contest,\u201d Wanga said.<\/p>\n

The burial was also attended by other politicians among them MPs Ong\u2019ondo Were (Kasipul), Adipo Okuome (Karachuonyo) and former Kasipul MP Oyugi Magwanga who also eyes the seat.<\/p>\n

Magwanga urged fellow leaders to give Awiti ample time to serve the people.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am still in the gubernatorial race,\u201d Magwanga said.<\/p>\n

Orata said he will not go home when Awiti\u2019s term expires in 2020.<\/p>\n

\u201cI cannot be a deputy governor for seven years and go back home. I will be in the gubernatorial succession race,\u201d Orata said.<\/p>\n

Awiti, however, warned the aspirants to stop tainting his administration\u2019s reputation.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who taint my name in order to get political mileage will not succeed,\u201d Awiti warned.<\/p>\n

These came after businessman Jared Otieno met delegations from all eight constituencies at his Thuon Gweno rural home to strategise on his gubernatorial ambition.<\/p>\n

\u201cLet us give Awiti time to complete his term but let my fellow aspirants know that the gubernatorial post is not a preserve for anybody in this county,\u201d Otieno said.<\/p>\n

Other leaders who have declared their interest in the seat include County Secretary Isaiah Ogwe and KUPPET Secretary General Akelo Misori.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
