Wezesha Youth Initiative CEO Paul Victor Owino congratulated the Kisumu City Manager for his wholesome support of youth in Gem Constituency. Area Member of County Assembly Seth Baraka openly endorsed Mr Abala Wanga in his pursuit of the Gem Constituency Parliamentary seat.

Mr. Abala Wanga is billed as the strongest contender for the Gem Constituency seat against a field of over seven candidates including the incumbent Elisha Odhiambo and Siaya County Woman Representative Christine Ombaka among others.

Abala Wanga urged the youth to nurture talent saying some young people had made careers with a turnover of millions out of mere talent.

On the issue of upcoming Orange Democratic Movement ODM Party grassroots elections Mr Wanga said only party faithful deserved to be elected into office.

“To avoid moles in the Party only known party loyalists will be elected to various positions during the grassroots elections”, said Wanga.

The no-nonsense Administrator is credited with singlehandedly bringing Kisumu urban planning in order from a chaotic and crime-riddled pat.

Already political pundits are putting down the Gem parliamentary race in 2027 down to three horses; Abala Wanga, Christine Ombaka and the incumbent Elisha Odhiambo Akuba.
