[Beverlyne Musili, Standard]Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party MPs have declared support for Migori County's Senate nominee Ochillo Ayacko and warned Governor Okoth Obado against campaigning for any another candidate. The Suba MP told The Standard yesterday that they would lead "earthshaking" campaigns to make sure the ODM nominee won the October 8 by-election. Mohamed rallied MPs Walter Owino (Awendo), Peter Masara (Suna West), Paul Abuor (Rongo) and Tom Odege (Nyatike) to support Ayacko. Philip Makabongo, the ODM Migori branch chairman, said they would not back any other person for the seat. "ODM party should continue with its democratic ideals which it has been advocating for and desist from bullying its supporters and candidates.” [Additional reporting by Fred Kibor]ALSO READ: ODM leaders to meet over Migori poll
