Gladys Wanga reacts to photo of man kissing her campaign banner
Homa Bay Woman Rep Gladys Wanga has broken her silence on a viral photo of a man kissing her gubernatorial campaign banner in the county.
In a tweet on Sunday, Wanga noted that she was interested in engaging with the guy and requested netizens to help trace him or share his contacts.
“Anyone knows this guy? Please share his contact,”Wanga tweeted.
By press time, Wanga had not issued an update as to whether she had gotten in touch with the man.
Meanwhile, ODM leader Raila Odinga recently handed Wanga a direct ticket to contest for Homa Bay governorship.
Wanga is expected to be deputised by former Kasipul MP Oyugi Magwanga who dropped his gubernatorial bid after in-house negotiations.
“Out of the seven contestants who were here, they’ve all agreed to step down and back Gladys Wanga as the party candidate in the Homa Bay County gubernatorial race. In the same spirit, they’ve also nominated her running mate as Oyugi Magwanga.

“The party has taken note and has agreed and issued a certificate to Gladys Wanga as the ODM party candidate in the gubernatorial race for Homa Bay County…This is not a direct nomination, this has come about as a result of consensus,” Odinga said.
The decision to hand Wanga the ticket did not augur well with former Nairobi Governor Dr Evans Kidero who had also expressed interest in the gubernatorial seat on an ODM ticket.
Kidero now says he will contest the seat as an independent candidate.
"I do not recognize the alleged consensus that saw the rights of our people trampled on by a few self-seekers who intend to retain the status quo. I have been inundated with calls, with people asking me to soldier on with my candidature,”Kidero said.
