ODM party has extended its application deadline for aspirants targeting to take part in the February party primaries.
The initial deadline had been set for last Saturday but now the aspirants will have 10 more days to tender in their applications before the door closes.
“Due to the long queues and increasing demand by members applying for the various seats electable in the August 2017 general election, the National Elections Board has extended the deadline for submission of application papers by 10 days,” said ODM director of communications Philip Etale as quoted by the Star.
“The board would like to make it clear that it will not be extending the deadline again after the lapse of the January 10 deadline,” he added.
Etale said that the extension is to allow enough time for the many aspirants who have been queuing at Orange House and those still travelling back from upcountry to submit their papers.
