A parliamentary aspirant in Suna East, has accused Raila Odinga’s ODM party of rigging him out, in favour of area MP, Junet Mohammed in primaries.

John Pesa lost the nominations to the incumbent after garnering 8,671 votes against Junet’s 14,912.

“I filed an appeal with the party rejecting the nomination results but they never bothered to respond,” Pesa said.

The former Migori legislator said he would still vie for the Suna East seat in the August 8 elections as an independent candidate.

He expressed confidence of ousting Junet.

“I am confident of flooring Junet in the August polls. Let him prepare to go home,” he said.
