The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has pushed its primaries by a week after IEBC said it was illegal to conduct the nominations before the names of the aspirants were gazetted.
Adressing the press at the party’s headquarters in Nairobi, ODM secretary general Agnes Zani said the nominations will now kick off from April 13 to April 25.
They were earlier scheduled to start April 8 in Busia Bungoma and Machakos counties.
“We are avoiding contravening the provisions of the Elections Act as outlined by the timeliness gazetted by the commission. The Act provides specific timeliness for the submission of party membership lists, at least 120 days before the elections date,” said Zani, Friday.
