TESO SOUTH INCUMBENT MP  MARY OTUCHO EMAASE QUITS RACE, ENDORSES ODM COMPETITOR GEOFFREY OMUSE

 Teso south Constituency Politics has taken a new twist after the current           Jubilee MP Hon. Mary Emaase Otucho quit the race and publicly endorses her main Competitor Mr Geoffry Omus who is vying I an ODM ticket.

Speaking in her office in Nairobi, Mrs. Emaase said she had all it takes to win the Teso south Constituency seat again but she has decided to take the major step due to what she calls ‘family matters’. “I feel that Geoffrey Omuse is the only worthy candidate who would be able to create challenge if I was to continue with my campaigns. I want my people to vote for him. He is for sure a worth candidate” said Mrs Emaase.

Mrs Emaase won the election in 2013 in a URP ticket, served the constituency for one term. Emaase is said to have got married in Mumias and is said to be eying Butere Constituency.

Mrs. Emaase said she will announce her next move in a week’s time and that as at now she is discussing it with her husband who is a prominent businessman in Mumias, Kakamega and Nairobi and who hails from Butere mumias.

A group of clan’s men from the Busostso community are said to approach Mrs. Emaase and requested her to ditch the Teso Constituency seat and go to where she is married and vie for the MP seat in Bustere.
