The elders, led by Ker Randa, bestowed upon Sakaja the name Ochieng Ondugi Randa, welcoming him as an adopted son of the Luo community and offering their blessings as he seeks a second term as Nairobi Governor in the 2027 General Election.
Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja has received the backing of Luo cultural elders after being formally adopted into the community and given a Luo cultural name during a meeting with the Luo Council of Elders in Kisumu.
The elders, led by Ker Randa, bestowed upon Sakaja the name Ochieng Ondugi Randa, welcoming him as an adopted son of the Luo community and offering their blessings as he seeks a second term as Nairobi Governor in the 2027 General Election.
During the meeting, Ker Randa urged members of the Luo community to support Sakaja's re-election bid, citing his close political association with the late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga.
“If you loved Baba Raila, vote for Ochieng Sakaja, because Baba Raila was with him,” Ker Randa said.
Sakaja visited Kisumu following an invitation extended to him by the elders during the burial of the late former Homa Bay Senator Otieno Kajwang's wife.
He was accompanied by members of his County Executive Committee and several Members of the Nairobi County Assembly.
