The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has promised aspirants free and fair party nominations.

The Raila Odinga led party announced dates for primaries in 26 counties on Friday.

Party national elections board chairperson Judy Pareno asked the aspirants to adhere to the code of conduct, and warned of dire consequences should one engage in hooliganism.

"The exercise will be free and fair. We urge aspirants to adhere to the code of conduct. Whoever will engage in hooliganism will have himself /herself to blame," she said.

ODM has outlined strict requirements that might bar disloyal party members and those who have failed to remit party dues running into millions of shillings.

Pareno said last November that elected officials will have to pay all arrears, which include non-refundable dues, life membership, monthly subscription and nomination fee to the party account to qualify for nominations.
