Migori county secretary Christopher Rusana has confirmed his bid to replace his boss Okoth Obado as the next governor on August 9 has ended.

Rusana failed to resign on February 9 deadline established by law despite officially launching his bid on November and having a successful funds drive.

“It was difficult to accept the decision to drop my bid which came after consulting stakeholders both in Migori and nationally, it was a personal decision which was hard to share with my supporters,” he said.

He said despite not taking part as a candidate in the governor race, he is “available to consult and reach an agreement and participate to ensure Migori gets a governor who puts interest of Migori poeple first.”

“I am still a politician and will participate to ensure Migori don’t get a bad leader, ” he said
