ODM leader Raila Odinga has come under fire after urging Wajir county voters to shun ‘madoadoa’ leaders in the coming general elections.

“Tunataka wote hapa Wajir wachaguliwe kwa Azimio. Tunataka hapa Wajir iwe Azimio zone. Hatutaki madoado hapa Wajir,” Raila said.

Raila stated on the campaign trail on Wednesday that the movement includes numerous parties that have joined together for the sake of unifying the country, therefore the need to vote for them.

The arrest of Meru Senator Mithika Linturi during a UDA protest in Uasin Gishu in January was prompted by Madoadoa’s remarks.

However, the prosecution failed to file charges against him within the time frame set, causing Nakuru Chief Magistrate Edna Nyaloti to dismiss the miscellaneous motion filed by detectives seeking to probe the Senator for incitement.
