Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Secretary General Agnes Zani has assured aspirants seeking the party’s ticket that there will be free and fair elections.
Zani said on Sunday that ODM will curb dishing out of certificates to losers in the primaries.
She said measures are in place to ensure fairness in the nominations.
"We have put in place new rules to enhance fairness in our nominations. For instance, apart from the National Elections Board headed by Judy Pareno, we now also have the County Election Committees and Constituency Election Panels that will ensure efficient nominations," she said.
Several aspirants have expressed fears that the ODM primaries will not be free and fair, judging from the past elections where some politicians were given direct nomination certificates.
"It will be open for everyone to participate and believe you me nobody, popular or unpopular, will be favoured. The people’s candidate will carry the day," she assured.
