Wednesday September 18, 2019 - Rowdy Orange Democratic
Movement (ODM) Youth angrily came down on Amani National Congress (ANC) Kibra
aspirant, Eliud Owalo, forcing him to flee to save his life.
According to reports, Musalia Mudavadi's party
flagbearer, who was on a campaign trail in Kibra, had his convoy attacked
near Olympics area by a group of ODM youth who had a meeting at the nearby
African Inland Church (AIC).
The rowdy youth, who were shouting ODM slogans, first
blocked his convoy before they accosted him, forcing Owalo to get on a
motorbike to flee from the area.
His brigade attempted to engage the fiery youth only to give
up after they were overwhelmed.
Owalo harshly condemned the incident, calling for peaceful
campaigns.
"Personally I want to conduct an issue-based campaign
devoid of violence.”
“We need to create an enabling environment for the people of
Kibra to elect a candidate of their choice.”
“They should do so based on the candidate's track record and
agenda.”
“Let us have peaceful campaigns.”
"I do not want to be involved with violence.”
“I would also want aspirants to put their ideas on the table
and deviate from a contest of personalities.”
“My stronghold is my ideas and not my community," Owalo
responded.
