Kamega Governor Fernandes Barasa has been declared the ODM County Chairperson winner during the party primaries that took place at Ikolomani KMTC Campus, retaining the position he has been holding for the last two years Governor Barasa was defending the seat against Lugari MP Nabii Nabwera, who had declared interest in the seat.
This occurred after the earlier planned election failed to take place due to disagreements among delegates allied to Barasa and Nabwera over the voting method.
Barasa's camp advocated for acclamation or consensus, while Nabwera's camp supported a secret ballot as the voting method.
This move forced the returning officer to postpone the election until further notice.
