Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party leader Oburu Oginga has maintained that the broad-based Government is still a formidable force to reckon with despite the Ol-Kalou by-election loss.

Speaking in Siaya County on Monday, Oburu dismissed the defeat of United Democratic Alliance UDA candidate Samuel Muchina by Sammy Ngotho of the Democracy for the Citizens Party DCP as just concluded by-election as a small bump on the road. He mentioned that the UDA-ODM coalition had won all the previous 8 Parliamentary and one senatorial by-elections before Ol-Kalou.

"What we know is that small hiccups like the election in Ol-Kalou do not shake us. We had won nine elections ourselves." He spoke.
