Wiper Party deputy leader Farah Maalim has assured party members and supporters of free, fair and transparent nominations ahead of the August 8 general election.
Maalim says that the party’s National Election Board Committee is working on mechanisms that will guarantee fair and transparent nominations set for between March and April this year.
The former National Assembly deputy speaker dismissed speculations that Wiper party will directly endorse some aspirants seeking certain seats.
“We have put in place proper mechanisms to guarantee our party members and supporters of free, fair and transparent nominations,” he said as quoted by Daily Nation.
The Wiper deputy leader further dismissed claims of internal wrangles pitting some leaders in the party.
He accused Wiper defectors of intruding into party affairs and creating a scenario that there are wrangles in the Kalonzo Musyoka led party.
Maalim said that the party is united ahead of the August 8 general election.
He urged political aspirants eyeing political seats in the August 8 polls to contest on Wiper ticket.
There have been claims that the Kalonzo Musyoka led party will dish out direct nominations to some aspirants.
Two weeks ago, Kitui senator David Musila, who is also Wiper chairman claimed that Kalonzo had allegedly endorsed Kitui governor Julius Malombe for re-election in the August general election.
Musila who has declared interest in the governor seat claimed that the party had asked him to drop his bid and instead seek re-election as senator.
Kalonzo has however dismissed the claims, saying that every aspirant seeking to contest on Wiper ticket will be endorsed through nomination.
