Obado made good his threat to prevent ODM from holding a rally in Migori town.
The rally at Posta grounds was completely disrupted when he arrived unannounced as Kisumu Senator Anyang’ Nyong’o addressed the crowd.
Immediately after seeing him, the crowd booed and threw water bottles, stones and shoes at the podium.
This forced Obado's guards to fire in the air. A bullet went through a VIP seat in an area where dignitaries were seated.
The seat had blood stains but it was not clear which official was shot.
Mvita MP Abdulswamad Nassir told the Star: "This was an assassination attempt. They were after Joho. Our car was shot at three times."
Joho's rallies have either been cancelled or ended in chaos. Police have given reasons including lack of approval and their inability to provide security.
The Governor was in the county to officially launch ODM office with fellow ODM deputy leader Wycliffe Oparanya (Kakamega).
A group earlier demonstrated against Obado after ODM organisers were locked out of Migori county stadium.
Trouble began on Sunday night when an unknown arsonist threw a petrol bomb at ODM's new Migori county office ahead of its official launch on Monday.
Hassan Joho has accused trained security officials of attempting to assassinate ODM leaders in Migori town on Monday.

"Earlier today, together with my delegation, we came under a brutal attack in Migori town by people we have reason to believe were trained security officers in civilian attires," he said in a statement.
The Mombasa county boss confirmed that one bodyguard had been shot and wounded in the leg, and called for speedy investigations into the incident.
"Only thorough investigations and bringing of perpetrators to justice will save the situation." Joho said.
