Former ODM Vice-Chair Joins Jubilee.

 
Paul Otuoma on Monday announced that he had defected to the Jubilee Party.

Otuoma, who is a former ODM Vice-chairman made the move during Deputy President William Ruto's trip to Busia ahead of fresh presidential poll.

The former lawmaker run for Busia governorship but lost to incumbent Sospeter Ojaamong</a> in an exercise he said was flawed.

After losing in the August elections, speculations emerged that he would cease supporting the Opposition for Jubilee.

Speaking on the issue, Ojaamong affirmed that if Otuoma joined the ruling party, the move would not have an impact in the upcoming presidential polls.

In 2016, the former MP tendered his resignation from the Party together with former Secretary General and Budalangi lawmaker Ababu Namwamba.

The two had threatened to rally Western Kenya leaders to bolt out of the party and join another outfit claiming that they were being sidelined.

However, Otuoma later reconsidered his decision and announced that he was still in ODM and would vie for Busia governorship.

After losing in the nominations, he accused the party of conducting a sham process claiming that he was rigged out.

He later officially resigned from being an Orange Party member and declared he would run for the seat as an independent candidate but still lost in the August polls.
