A former aide to ODM leader Raila Odingaย on Thursday claimed that the former Prime Minister was trying to impose Rosemary Odinga on the people of Nairobi’sย Kibraย Constituency.

Eliud Owalo, who wasย Raila’sย presidentialย campaignย manager in 2013 andย is now eyeing the Kibra Parliamentary seat, disclosed that there was a plan being hatched by the Odinga familyย to deny him the ODM ticket during nominations.

โ€œIf indeed there are such plans, then with a lot of disdain one is left wondering the rationale behind the recent invitation by the Party for prospective candidates for all elective positions to submit their applications,โ€ Owalo stated.

The aspiring MP claimed that the Orange Party had arbitrarily decided beforehand who would be given the ticket for theย Kibraย Parliamentary race.

Owalo urged the ODMย Party to learn from their previous nominations which have been marred by chaosย countrywide.

โ€œWe stand to lose moral ground to continue religiously advocating for the conduct of impartial elections by the IEBC at the national level as has been the case in the past if our own internal ODM Party primaries are either mismanaged in reality or non-existent in practice,” Owaloย lamented.

Speculations have been rife that Raila’s daughter intends to vie for the Kibraย Parliamentary seat although she has not officially announced it.

Rosemary has in the recent past been attending rallies in Kibra including fundraisers in the company of senior ODM officials.

Her spokesperson Jack Okinyiย declined to comment on the issue stating that ODM would respond and handle the matter to ensure free and fair elections.

Some leaders and aspirants in the Orange party have expressed fear that ODM nominations could be rigged in favour of some people, claims Odinga has vehemently denied promising fair competition.
