Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has been hit by a fresh nomination row in Kwale County.
This is after a Lobby Group from Kinango issued the party, which is under the leadership of Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, an ultimatum of two weeks to degazette the list of member of county assembly nominees.
The members of the group lamented that the Kinango sub-county was not allocated any slot despite having played an immense role in the August General election.
Rashid Kurera the chairperson of the group, who spoke to the press on Wednesday, said that the top brass allocated nine slots to Kwale County but the sub county has been sidelined in the nominations process.
The team also said that it is unfortunate for the area to be left out yet it is among those that delivered the highest votes to Raila, who was taking a fourth stab at the Presidency.
“Kinango Sub County produced the largest number of presidential votes in all Kwale sub counties with over 43,000 turn out,” he said as quoted by Baraka FM.
Ruwa Mzungu, an ODM supporter said that the leaders have been working round the clock to ensure that region remains an opposition stronghold, adding that they deserve to be rewarded for the same.
“We worked ceaselessly for the ODM party in the past fifteen years and scooped several votes but to our utmost surprise no one was nominated,” he said.
