Other sources state that Otieno's mother has set out on a quest to popularize UDA in the region, claiming that it is a party that allows her to express her grievances after the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party abandoned her after her loved one was cruelly murdered.
“I would have wanted ODM, but it is very difficult to get a ticket there. Furthermore, leaders from ODM who had vowed to stand with us before Sharon’s burial abandoned us immediately, we lowered her body into the grave,” Mrs. Auma told the publication.
However, Kenyans have reacted stating Auma is using her daughter's popularity for political gain.
Sharon Otieno, a Rongo University student, was brutally murdered and thrown in an Oyugis forest.
