Kitutu Chache North parliamentary aspirant Anthony Kibagendi has said ODM must watch out for selfish leaders.
Kibagendi said the party needs leaders who are ready to make sacrifices.
The aspirant referred to Bomachoge Chache MP Simon Ogari and his Kitutu Chache South counterpart Richard Onyonka who apologised to Raila and rejoined the party.
He said their return after “flirting" with President Uhuru Kenyatta and DP William Ruto's Jubilee Party was "suspect".
“Their return should be treated cautiously. Someone like Onyonka is a pretender. He will go back to his old ways after achieving his goals in ODM,” he said via The Star.
The MPs apologised to Raila and ODM supporters during a meeting of the party's governing council at Bomas of Kenya in Nairobi on Monday.
Kibagendi will battle it out with Onyonka and Jimmy Onkangi for the ODM ticket in Kitutu Chache South.
He has promised to shame Onyonka during the party primaries but called for free and fair nominations.
“Raila does not need these people. He needs a new crop of young, energetic and visionary leaders not people who want to use him for their selfish ends. We as youth should be given an opportunity to demonstrate what we are capable of," he said.
Talking elsewhere, Kitutu Masaba MP Timothy Bosire agreed with Kibagendi saying the party indeed needed steadfast leaders.
