Kisii County Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party chairperson Kerosi Ondieki revealed that the decision to postpone the rally was made after wide consultations. Ondieki urged leaders from the region to support ODM and Azimio’s agenda. He beseeched dissidents to give everyone a chance to attend Azimio rallies and share their opinions because Kisii is an ODM stronghold. Ondieki tentatively set the date for a rally on Friday, February 17, subject to agreement from members of the region.
