"I have stood with ODM for a long period of time. I have supported Raila Odinga for long and I want to send a message out for them to understand that I am now in the race to State House using the ODM ticket," Joho declared.

Joho said the presidency was not meant for the selected few and insisted it was time for small communities to take over the leadership of the country.

"It is not possible for someone to think the presidency is meant for just a few selected people. Even some of us who come from small tribes have a right to contest because we got the experience and the zeal to lead too. With the help of God, we will be in the race until the last minute," Joho insisted
