ODM says RUTH ODINGA nomination win is NOT ‘OFFICIAL’


ODM says RUTH ODINGA nomination win is NOT ‘OFFICIAL’


  After morning of protests in Kisumu over the announcement that Raila Odinga’s sister Ruth Odinga had won the ODM ticket to vie for the Kisumu Governorship seat in the March 4th polls, the party’s National Election Board has come out to try and put a lid on the situation.

In a brief statement to the media, the Franklin Bett-led ODM National Election Board has said that “Ruth Odinga has not been cleared to run for Kisumu Governor in the March 4th polls.” The statement also called on the people of Kisumu to maintain peace while the results of the nominations are finalized.

The statement from ODM’s National Election Board comes after angry youths barricaded the Kisumu-Nairobi road at Nyando Bridge in Ahero to protest alleged rigging in the nominations.
