Chris Odhiambo alias DJ Kriss Darlin is among ODM candidates seeking to win the party’s ticket in the forthcoming primary so that they could vie for the Kibra constituency seat in November 7th by-election.
DJ Kriss Darlin will have to square it out with political heavyweights former Senator Elizabeth Ongoro, ODM Secretary-General Edwin Sifuna, former Embakasi South MP Irshad Sumra, Imran Okoth (brother to the late MP Ken Okoth) who are all salivating after ODM ticket.
On Saturday August 24th, all the candidates seeking ODM party ticket were unveiled to Kibra residents during a rally held at Kamkunji grounds.
Raila Odinga and other ODM top honchos were at the Saturday rally in Kibra. DJ Kriss Darlin raised eyebrows when he knelt before Raila while asking for his blessings in the forthcoming ODM primary.
Video of Kriss Darlin kneeling for Raila has sparked mixed reactions on social media.

Kriss Darling heart belongs in Jubilee, kneeling before Baba Raila Odinga while he can walk to Sugoi or talk to Kamwana for a direct ticket is nothing but a mockery to people of Kibra. Ken Okoth seat shouldn't be replaced by a mole. https://t.co/umWus5RW2h
