BISHOP WANJIRU is an “ACADEMIC DWARF” but I will support her against SONKO - ONGORO
The Kenyan DAILY TRUTH has
learnt that the feisty outgoing MP for Kasarani Elizabeth Ongoro today made a
u-turn on her previous promise to fight ODM for taking her out of Nairobi Senate
race saying that, after some reflection, she is ready to support the party’s
preferred candidate Bishop Margret Wanjiru.
Ongoro was unceremoniously removed from the Nairobi Senate
race early this week. She had promised to fight ODM on the matter, even
bringing up the possibility of a law suit.
ODM had tried to placate Ongoro by offering her the Ruaraka
parliamentary seat even though the party had already given the nomination
certificate for that seat to another aspirant. Ongoro today said that it would
be improper of her to take the Ruaraka ODM ticket from another person.
Today’s developments come after Franklin Bett, the head of
ODM’s elections board, yesterday said that the decision to replace Ongoro with
Bishop Wanjiru for the Nairobi Senate race was informed by the desire for what
he termed ‘ethnic balance’.
While accepting to back down today, Ongoro also had a dig at
Bishop Wanjiru, calling her an ‘academic
dwarf’.
