Raila, Kalonzo to submit nomination papers on May 28Nasa presidential candidate Raila Odinga and his running mate Kalonzo Musyoka have settled on May 28, 2017 as the day they will submit the nomination papers to electoral body IEBC.
Speaking on Sunday at St Stephen’s ACK Church in Kisumu, Odinga dismissed reports that Kalonzo had submitted nomination papers as Wiper’s presidential candidate.
“As you know that the IEBC has announced the date when the candidates are going to submit their nomination papers. Kalonzo and I have decided to submit our documents on May 28,” Raila said.
The ODM leader added, “Any speculation is unfounded. You cannot present any document to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission before the formal announcement of the receipts”.
A report by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commissoon on Saturday listed Kalonzoa as the Wiper nominee for president and Raila as ODM’s.
The IEBC document further indicates that out of 19 presidential hopefuls, only President Uhuru Kenyatta has presented William Ruto as his running mate under the Jubilee Party.
