- Party officials come out to welcome PM’s visit as critics back down
Commenting on the visit, former Kanu strongman Joseph Kamotho said Mr Odinga, like other presidential candidates, is keen to win the support of the electorate in Central province because it is rich in votes.
Dr Philip Nyinguro, a lecturer at the University of Nairobi, said the PM appeared to be gaining support in Central because he is being backed by the political elite from the region.
