Revealed: Millie Odhiambo’s Plan to Stop Wanga From Slaying to Homabay Governorship

Are women really their own enemies? Well, if the current battle of supremacy between Gladys Wanga and Millie Odhiambo is anything to go by then the answer is Yes.

Homabay county has for a long time now been known as an ODM strong hold. The only song the people from Homa Bay listen to and in fact enjoy dancing to is the “ODM Song”

Homa Bay is the only county where the governor, senator, women representative and 58 out of 60 elected leaders are from ODM party

Even the two MCAs who got a chance to be elected on independent tickets still swear allegiance to the party.

The 2022 elections are not yet here with us but the race for various electoral positions is already momentum not just at the National level but also at the county level.

The governor position in Homa Bay county is already attracting a number of aspirants who are already moving around the county seeking support for their candidature.

This is despite the pending election petition at the Supreme Court where governor Cyprian Awiti wants the highest court to overrule the Court of Appeal which nullified his re-election in the August 8,2017 General Election.

Former Kasipul MP Oyugi Magwanga successfully petitioned the re-election of Awiti at the Homa Bay High Court before Justice Joseph Karanja.

ODM National chairman John Mbadi, Homa Bay woman Representative Gladys Wanga and KUPPET secretary general Akello Misori have been moving across the county presiding over various fund drives as they popularise their candidatures.

However, the recent attack on Wanga who is also the party Homa Bay branch chairperson, by Suba North MP Millie Odhiambo raises eyebrows.

Millie has openly declared that she will not support Wanga’s ambitions for governorship over her development projects, an issue she has been pushing online.

Wanga has however kept mum and Odhiambo has only been attacked back by bloggers

Of late, Mbadi and Odhiambo have been attending various fundraising events and to some, she has been sending her foot soldiers to accompany Mbadi.

She claims Homa Bay has got its own people and cannot be ruled by outsiders. Wanga was born in Kano within Kisumu and is married in Kochia within Homa Bay hence making her an outsider according to Millie Odhiambo.

Is this battle for Supremacy between the two leaders beneficial to the ODM Party?
