ODM candidate in Bonchari by-election Hon.Pavel Oimeke.

In past elections,either Jubilee supported ODM or the vice versa happened in order to safeguard the handshake.For instance,in Kibra Constituency,President Uhuru Kenyatta supported the ODM candidate even though Jubilee was having a candidate.In London Ward,ODM supported a Jubilee candidate against UDA's Nzuki Wachira.Jubilee supported ODM in Msambweni.However,Jubilee supported ANC in Matungu Constituency by-election instead of ODM which was also fielding a candidate.

UDA which is associated with DP Ruto is also fielding the late MP's Mrs.Teresa Bitutu Oroo for the seat.Analysts say that an open confrontation between Jubilee and UDA shall give an upper hand to ODM party in the by-election.However,the handshake will be at big loss in the by-election if the recent occurrences are anything to go by.
