Even if I believed it was stolen, I conceded.<br \/>\nLeadership requires maturity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He argued that recent political events\u2014including President Ruto\u2019s visits to Busia and ODM\u2019s National Delegates Conference\u2014point to Otuoma as the already favoured candidate.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWherever the President goes, it is Otuoma beside him. These people have already decided. Let me face him directly at the poll,\u201d Sidai stated.<\/p>\n<p>He further urged Osiya to step aside:<br \/>\n\u201cI have no grudge with my brother Osiya, but I ask him not to compete.<br \/>\nThe signs are clear\u2014Otuoma is their choice.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Lay Canon Sidai said the only medicine for Otuoma is Sidai and nobody else. To achieve this we should I must be in the ballot or we perish as a county due to &#8220;poor leadership.&#8221; So nobody should come here and suggest that we agree on a compromise candidate.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; In 2022 three people stood for the gubernatorial seat- one teso and two luhyas. If Busia was a tribal county, why didn&#8217;t Daniel Mogoria emerge victorious? You voted for Otuoma to confirm that we as residents of Busia are not tribalists.<\/p>\n<p>We elect a person irrespective of his or her tribe, religion or political affiliations. Otuoma is the problem because of his poor leadership,&#8221; Eng Sidai stated.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Sidai Mashinani\u2019 Campaign Strategy<\/p>\n<p>Sidai announced a grassroots campaign strategy dubbed \u201cSidai Mashinani,\u201d focusing on door-to-door engagement across all eight sub-counties and 35 wards in Busia.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy December, I will have visited every ward. My politics will be people-centered\u2014direct interaction with households,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>He also emphasized peaceful campaigns and unity:<br \/>\n\u201cLet us not divide ourselves. All votes are for Sidai. We must remain one people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Leaders Clash at Burial Ceremony<\/p>\n<p>The political exchanges occurred during the burial of Mama Imelda Nafula Orodi (85) in Amagoro, Teso North.<br \/>\nMCA Jakaa maintained that neither Sidai nor Osiya has sufficient experience for the gubernatorial seat and insisted on a unified candidate.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, Malaba Central MCA and Deputy Speaker Ronal Ochalu defended his leadership amid chants of \u201cWantam\u201d from sections of mourners:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI cannot be threatened. Wait for 2027 if you want to remove me from office,\u201d he said, alleging attempts by rivals to intimidate him using hired youths.<\/p>\n<p>Church Rebukes Political Intolerance<\/p>\n<p>Presiding over the service, Bishop Pius Idewa of Maranatha Church Amagoro criticized rising political hostility, especially among youth:<br \/>\n\u201cIt is embarrassing to parents when children insult leaders in church and public functions.<br \/>\nRespect for leadership and human dignity must prevail.\u201d<br \/>\nHe also dismissed alleged political realignments and urged leaders to uphold moral values and unity.<\/p>\n<p>&#8221; I have a clan in this family. I oversee Malaba headquarters and Amagoro Church for two months now. Mama Imelda has been sick, but God had his own reason.<\/p>\n<p>Others in attendance included immediate Anglican Church of Kenya Katakwa Diocese Bishop John Okude, his position aspirant, and Amagoro Archdeacon, Isabella Inyele Imoh, former area MCA Ishmael Orodi, leading cotton farmer and founder of Ikaruok Welfare Association Barnabas Nyapara, former Malaba Town Council Chairman John Okiring, former Angurai East MCA Joab Oteba, pastors fellowship chairman Teso Dennis Etyang and Amagoro Location Chief Joel Omachar.<\/p>\n<p>Other Political Signals<\/p>\n<p>Teso North MP aspirant Gregory Odeke Epus termed early campaign activities premature:<br \/>\n\u201cLet amateurs engage in drama.
