Nakuru Town West MP Samuel Arama has said Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) leader Raila Amolo Odinga’s call for by- elections in different parts of the country following defections will kill democracy.
According to Arama, politicians who decamped to other parties in the recent past were only exercising their democratic right.
"Raila's move to call for a by-election will kill democracy, but I will wait for the by-elections to prove to him that I will still win," said Arama.
The outspoken politician also pointed out that he does not fear going back to ask for votes from Nakuru residents since they are the ones that elected him and not the former Prime Minister.
"I know I will win. It's the electorates who voted for me, not ODM party leader Raila Odinga," he said on Tuesday.
Arama also recalled how the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy leader (CORD) frustrated him after winning the nominations in the last general elections.
"ODM frustrated me in 2013 when I won the party primaries ... I had to go to court to get the ODM ticket," he said.
