Senatorial Race
Front runner is Hon. James Aggrey Orengo Nyatieng. Hon. Oburu Odinga withdrew from the race. Orengo not likely to meet a challenge from his arch rival Steve Muwanga, after the latter opted to retry the Ugenya seat he was DENIED in Elections 2007. Orengos support for Dr. Oburu Odingas Gubernatorial race likely to cost him a substantial base of support. Orengo can bank on the support of Ugenya, Ugunja, Alego-Usonga and Gem. This is likely to be a one-horse race if Orengo leaves the Oburu campaigns alone. A likely independent candidate from the Diaspora has been touting the possibility of trying the Siaya Senatorial seat, but the mood on the ground is overwhelmingly in support of Orengo.

Gubernatorial Race - 1
Front runner is William Oduol Denge from AlegoUsonga. Oduol enjoys the support of the populous Alego-Usonga, Gem, Ugenya and Ugunja. Facing competition from Dr. Oburu Odinga. Mood on the ground is anti-Oburu as it is perceived he is being imposed on the people. Another serious challenger is Malik Abongo Obama as an Independent Candidate. Obama is elder brother to the USA President Barrack Hussein Obama Jr. Obama likely to benefit in the event of an ODM goof in the nominations.

Gubernatorial Race - 2
Other NOT SO SERIOUS contenders include Banker Felix Owaga Okatch from Gem. Owaga doesnt even have the Gem support. Former Gem MP, Joe Donde - Word has it that he is being prevailed upon to support his cousin, Oburu Odinga and be his running-mate. Okinda JT - Also has a very small support base from Gem only. General feeling from Gem that they also need to feature in top County positions. Lawyer Stephen Aluoch KOpot being groomed for County Assembly Speaker.

Gubernatorial Race - 3
Internationally renown Governance Expert, Gideon Ochanda was being groomed for Deputy Governor but opted out to vie in Bondo Constituency. Maseno University Sociology Don, Dr. Nick Ogolla also being groomed as a potential Deputy Governor. The most likely winning team MUST HAVE Oduol with either Ochanda or Dr. Ogolla as running mate. Dr. Oburu Odinga is likely to appoint his cousin Hon. Joe Donde as running mate - This may be DISASTROUS for their candidacy! Oduol MUST appoint a running-mate from either Bondo or Rarieda to win.
