Former Kisumu county Deputy Governor Ruth Odinga has been cleared by IEBC to vie for the county women's Representative position.

"We had cleared Kisia, Valentine, Ruth and now evening we have just finalized with Philgona as candidates for the women representative positions," he told the media.
However, Ruth told the media that she was looking forward to being cleared by IEBC and now they will start their campaigns across the county.
