Busia senator Amos Wako has sharply criticised the call for ODM six-piece voting, which was initially made by party leader Raila Odinga.
Other ODM leaders campaigning for the much criticised voting method are Woman Representative Florence Mutua and Budalang'i parliamentary aspirant Raphael Wanjala.
"I do not support the idea that independent candidates should not be voted for and even Raila himself knows and is even changing his position," Wako said.
Ms Mutua, however, argued that it would be bad for the NASA presidential candidate, Raila, to win in the August elections and have only a few elected MPs and MCAs.
"We are supporting all candidates under ODM. Although democracy dictates that you can vote for the leader you like, we want our candidates to win," she said.
Aspirant Wanjala dismissed Senator Wako’s remarks, saying they were against Raila’s.
"When you are in a party, you should serve it diligently. There is no way one can decide to campaign for oneself alone and leave out other aspirants seeking other positions within the same party," Wanjala said, as quoted by The Standard.
