ODM has issued a statement in regards to the by-elections that were conducted on Thursday, March 4, where the party congratulated the winners and raised concerns on issues it wants to be addressed.
ANC s Peter Nabulindo garnered 14,260 votes. ODM s David Were came second with 10,565 with UDA s Alex Lanya following with 5,513 votes. We congratulate all winners and celebrate our candidate in Matungu Constituency. Even though the result is not exactly what we had aimed for, coming a very strong second with close to 11,000 votes against 14,000 combined efforts for ANC, Ford-Kenya, KANU, and Wiper parties confirm that ODM remains the party to beat nationally.

By-elections will be held today in various parts of the country. There have been intense campaigns, most notably for Matungu and Kabuchai parliamentary seats in Kakamega and Bungoma counties respectively and in London Ward, Nakuru County.
Tensions and isolated cases of violence have also been reported during the campaigns. As they head to the polls today, voters and politicians must remember that this is not a matter of life and death.
Violence has no place in democratic elections. Police should be on alert and arrest any troublemakers.
Particularly, allegations by Nakuru Senator Susan Kihika that there are plans to cause chaos ahead of the London Ward by-election should be investigated and action taken, if necessary.
