ODM Clarifies Only Busia Gubernatorial Results From Teso North and Teso South Will be Repeated

The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party National Election Board has clarified that Gubernatorial results only from Teso North and Teso South constituencies in Busia County, would be repeated.

Speaking during a presser on Monday, NEB Chairperson, Judith Pareno stated the election for the two constituencies would be held on Tuesday, April 25.

The Board had on Friday nullified the Busia Gubernatorial results citing the massive irregularities experienced.

Governor Sospeter Ojaamong' had emerged the winner with 92,358 votes in the just concluded ODM primaries in Busia with his challenger Paul Otuoma getting 63,752 votes.

Otuoma had cried foul following the announcing of the results saying he had been rigged out.

"People who voted in Teso South are more than the number registered with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).

Otuoma claimed that his rival rigged the votes in Teso South and Teso North.

"Seems like everybody voted for him from those areas," he added.

On Sunday, Otuoma reiterated that he would not participate in a repeat election and issued an ultimatum to the party to give him the certificate before the end of tomorrow.

“There is no need in participating in the primaries when it is clear I won. I will push for my victory to be given to me,” said Otuoma.

While his Rival Ojaamong on the other part indicated that he was ready for the repeat of the election and exuded confidence that he would still beat Otuoma.
