Nominated MP Oburu Odinga has rejected nomination to the East African Legislative Assembly.

A statement from the party revealed that Oburu will not be part of the Assembly.

“While the Orange Democratic Movement had considered nominating him to the seat, Dr Oginga formally declined this offer last week and instead asked the party to give priority to one of those whose nominations were shot down by Jubilee last time,” said Dennis Onyango, ODM's communication director.

On Monday, during a press conference, Oburu confirmed that he had rejected the nomination since he will be quiting politics soon.
