ODM leader Raila Odinga returns to the Coast region for a one day visit to hunt for votes ahead of the August 9 election.

The former Prime Minister is expected to tour Taita Taveta county on Friday.

According to his itinerary, Odinga is scheduled to hold a meeting at Kwamnengwa before heading to Maktau to commission the Sh98.6 million Nyangoro water project funded by the local county government and the World Bank.

He is finally expected to hold a political rally at Mwatate town, together with his host Taita Taveta Governor Granton Samoja and other ODM leaders from the region.

The last time Odinga visited Taita Taveta county was March 2021 where he held several meetings with local leaders and a series of rallies in Mwatate and Voi town.

In a recent interview with with Nam Lolwe FM , Raila's campaign board chair Ndiritu Muriithi disclosed they are putting everything in place to ensure that Odinga wins the August elections.

“This is a campaign like no other. It is only comparable to the National Rainbow campaign of 2002,” said Nderitu.

Adding "Traditional Raila supporters are intact, he has also gained many supporters in North Eastern, Rift Valley especially Nakuru and Laikipia. Supporters should feel very encouraged”
