Tony Otieno

Hon. Tonny Okoth Otieno is a resilient and fiercely independent grassroots legislator currently serving his first term in the Homa Bay County Assembly. In the 2022 election, he pulled off a massive upset by capturing the Arujo Ward seat as an Independent Candidate, defeating the heavily favoured regional machinery of the dominant Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party. Known locally by his supporters as "Tonny Otheo Jakamanga," his leadership has centered heavily on civic education, local town-setup development, and women's empowerment. Most recently, he made headlines for navigating high-stakes national government collaborations to secure regional development, showcasing his willingness to cross party lines for his constituents.
