The Orange Democratic Movement women league has hailed the move to issue a direct ticket to the incumbent Woman Representative Janet Ong’era as heroic.

Ong’era will now defend the position she has held for the last five years.

Speaking in Kisii, the ODM women league welcomed the move, while committing to campaign for her, so that she can retain the seat.

“We thank our party leader for issuing Hon Janet Ong’era, the incumbent Kisii County Woman Rep an ODM direct nomination to defend her seat as Kisii County Woman Rep on 9th August 2022,” the women league said.

The leaders said Ong’era has demonstrated commitment both to the people of Kisii and ODM.

She was to face 3 other aspirants in the ODM nominations.

The three others are Doris Aburi Evelyne Ogendo, Jackline Karani and Bridgit Ombati.

Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who is also the ODM party leader has adopted consensus in issuing the tickets, in a move meant to ease tension.
