ODM aspirant for Embakasi South Constituency Irshad Sumra has revealed shocking details of how his own Party ODM abandoned him when he needed them the most.
While speaking in an Interview Sumra said, “The so-called generals and the entire brigade of ODM, I mean elected governors, senators, MP’s and MCAs all left me to fight my battle alone on a fateful day.”
In addition, he said, “They were all there, together with tanga tanga, dishing bribes to voters left, right and centre and we could not do anything but stare in disbelief.”
However, Sumra has made it clear that there is no bad blood between him and his party leader Raila Odinga.
“The ODM Executive Director and his officials from Orange House were super and contributed a lot but the elected members simply refused to show up when I needed them most,” he said.
Sumra was vying for the Embakasi seat on an ODM ticket against Wiper’s Julius Mwawathe, who won with a wide margin to clinch to the top.
