Kisumu County Assembly’s acting Speaker, Elisha Oraro, has resigned as the Kisumu North Ward MCA ahead of election scheduled for Friday, January 24.
The County Assembly invited applications for the post last week.
Oraro, who was electing acting Speaker last year after 42 ward representatives impeached former Speaker Onyango Oloo, said he resigned to contest for the post.
