A section of Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) supporters and aspirants have questioned the credibility of the party’s register after the names of Lamu Governor Issa Timamy and rival Fahim Twaha were discovered in it.Lamu ODM organising secretary and coordinator Zahara Shee defended the party saying Timamy (ANC Party) and Twaha (Jubilee) are likely to have registered under the political outfit but failed to inform the party's top brass after they opted to pull out ahead of the August general election. However, the two leaders have never been members of the Raila Odinga-led Orange party, The Star reports.The party primaries, however, were carried out in the county despite some names missing from the register.Three MCA's were nominated in the election that saw youthful politicians edge out their older counterparts.
