Embu County ODM delegates Friday congregated at Gerish Hotel in Embu County for the 77th birthday celebrations of their party leader and presidential aspirant Raila Odinga.
The event was attended by the Embu County ODM chairman Moses Wamuuru who was also the event host, Mary Wacheke party treasurer, Jennifer Mukami Youth leader and the party Organizing secretary Loveys Njagi.
Moses Wamuuru who is also Embu County Senator aspirant said that it was their special day as party delegates and it’s a sign people of Embu have changed their perception towards Raila.
He said for years it has been a challenge to hold Raila’s birthday celebrations in the county since people have been receiving negative remarks by their competitors but in recent things have changed.
“Today is a special day for us as we celebrate our party leader birthday. Residents are celebrating with Raila something we are proud of,” said Wamuuru.
“It has been a challenge to initiate anything about Raila in Embu in past but people have now noticed he is a good person who wants good things for Kenyans,” he added.

“Embu County youths we are peaceful and we like Raila agenda,” said Mukami.
