His announcement comes at a time when Kakamega Governor Wycliffe Oparanya also expressed interest in vying for the Presidency on an ODM ticket.

“We still have a whole 30 days and I still have to look for Sh1 million which is a requirement for eligibility to seek the ODM ticket,” Oparanya stated. 

Joho and Oparanya are Deputy Party leaders in ODM, thus complicating the equation for the party. To make it even worse, there is a high likelihood that former Prime Minister Raila Odinga could also contest for the Presidency, though he is yet to address the issue.
