On Tuesday, Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) candidate in Msambweni by-election Omar Boga will perhaps be heading to the ballot worried about the impact disgruntled faction in the party would have on the mini poll.
Political analysts concur that Mr Boga will also be anxious about the coalition the faction has established with an equally dissatisfied Jubilee group in and outside Msambweni.
But his supporters take solace in the fact that Msambweni is an ODM stronghold, having won the seat in 2007, 2013 and 2017. All the four ward rep seats were also won by ODM in the 2017 polls.
During the two months of campaigning, Boga has successfully projected himself as a “handshake” candidate who enjoys the support of ODM leader Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta.
