Nairobi - Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi has cautioned Silas Jakakimba, a former aide to ODM leader Raila Odinga, against contesting for the Suba North parliamentary seat in 2027.

Who endorsed Silas Jakakimba?

On Sunday, May 5, Jakakimba hosted a delegation from the Kakiimba community, which officially endorsed his parliamentary ambition to unseat MP Millie Odhiambo.

Jakakimba thanked the elders for giving him the go-ahead to traverse the constituency in search of votes.

"My Kodondo Residence played host to my Parents, Elders, kids and youths from the Kakiimba Community as they committed my aspirations to The Lord. This solemn Prayer Session also authorised and afforded me the express authority and Blessings to move, visit and consult in a similar fashion - Every clan and Community on Mfangano Island, Rusinga Island, Kasgunga, Gembe, and Lambwe as we engage all Suba North residents on my agenda geared towards taking Suba North to the next level," Jakakimba said.

Why Jakakimba may not defeat Millie Odhiambo

However, reacting to the endorsement, Ahmednasir suggested that Odhiambo would easily defeat Jakakimba.

According to Ahmednasir, the former aide to the former prime minister will get hurt unnecessarily if he attempts to unseat Odhiambo, whom he described as experienced.

"Leave alone Suba North. Please try somewhere else...Hon Millie Grace Akoth Odhiambo ni chuma (y 16). You will get hurt unnecessarily!" he said.

Why Jakakimba ditched ODM party

As reported earlier, Jakakimba made a decisive move in his bid to unseat Suba North lawmaker in 2027.

At a colourful ceremony on Tuesday, March 26, the ODM leader's former aide announced he had officially joined the ruling United Democratic Alliance (UDA) Party of Kenya.

Flanked by the party's secretary general Cleophas Malala, Jakakimba declared his transition the most unambiguous indication that the ruling party had made forays into Raila's Nyanza political bastion.
