Suna East politician Patrick Odipo ‘Jawaswetta’ has permanently sealed his move from Raila Odinga’s camp after he was sworn in as ANC executive member.

Jawaswetta, a businessman told Migori News on Sunday that his move into ANC top decision making organ from an ordinary member was long time overdue, and will help shape the party fortunes across the party.

“We have been working hard to shape the image of ANC not only in Nyanza which is considered an ODM zone, but across Kenya. This move up the party will be welcomed,” Jawaswetta said.

In 2017 general elections, wary of ODM shambolic nominations Odipo went and picked the ANC ticket and opened the county office in Migori town.

He won 6,833 votes to get 22.2 per cent of the votes cast to come second o Junet who won 54.9 per cent of votes with 16,901 votes.

Odipo, in his first constituency stab was able to floor former Migori MP John Pesa, who lost to Junet in ODM primaries and came third on Independent ticket with 6,630 votes at 21.5 per cent of total cast.

“We made a statement with ANC in Nyanza region despite the ODM euphoria, we will build on that going ahead,” Odipo said.

He said they are working closely to ensure Mudavadi wins the 2022 presidential election and have more candidates for the seat in next 2022 elections.
