It is all system go as Isaac Aluochier, the activist who stopped Building Bridges Initiative (BBI) reggae by filing a constitutional petition, has set bid to be Migori next senator.

“Migori so far doesn’t have a strong senator candidate, so I chose the seat to give Migori residents pride by having a senator with a record on defending human rights,” he said.

“Additionally I have good national and international appeal and will be a good ambassador for Migori in fighting for their rights. I have been a human rights and constitutional activists for past decade, I need another platform to articulate this further,” Aluochier said.

Aluochier said he had picked Justice and Freedom Party as his ticket and downplayed losing out in the Orange Democratic Movement stronghold after ensuring the constitutional change stopped on its track.

“While I was studying in United Kingdom I was the ODM chairman in that country, I stopped being a member of ODM by December 2012 long before BBI came in existence,” he explained.

Aluochier said his political stance now and in 2017 when he unsuccessfully vied for Rongo Constituency seat happened long after he had decamped from ODM party and long before Raila Odinga moved in the constitutional changes.

Aluochier father John Linus Aluoch Polo was the Rongo MP in the first multiparty general election between 1992-97 with Ford Kenya ticket under Jaramogi Oginga Odinga.

The Odinga and Polo families still enjoy strong ties as Luo elites,

Aluochier is educated in Universities of Reading and Cranfield in England for his bachelors and masters degrees respectively.

He studied as a Quantity Surveryor for his undergraduate degree and Project Management at masters’ level.
