This comes amid claims that the battle for Narok governor post, between Patrick ole Ntutu and ODM’s Joseph Tiampati could lead to a split.
Ole Ntutu is CCM’s deputy party leader. He decamped from President Uhuru Kenyatta’s Jubilee Party.
Speaking on Wednesday, Ntutu affirmed that Nasa was united at the county level and would continue to campaign for presidential candidate, Raila Odinga.

The gubernatorial aspirant, however, denied the possibility of having one Nasa candidate to face the incumbent, Samuel Tunai, who is vying on a Jubilee Party ticket.
He was speaking in Mosori ward, Narok County.

There have been calls for Ntutu and Tiampati to reach a consensus to avoid splits within the opposition coalition.
