Raila Odinga-led Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party has issued the procedure that should be followed in their upcoming Saturday 7 nominations ahead of Kibra by-elections.
The nominations that were to be held on 31st August were pushed to September 7 over lack of security personnel who were engaged in the census exercise.
The star had on Wednesday morning reported that ODM was considering a consensus in the Kibra primaries, a report that has been dismissed by the party.
Ignore the lead story on the @TheStarKenya. We are ready for the nomination exercise in Kibra this Saturday 7th Sept. 2019 at all @IEBCKenya gazetted polling stations. All candidates who were cleared for the nominations are also ready for the exercise. It is all systems go.

The party further asked the media to stop speculations that are aimed at causing unnecessary friction and tension, arguing that the party has proper channels of communication and any information needed for dissemination should be sought from the SG, ED or the Director of Communications.
It's time we start singling out individual journalists who are purveyors of FAKE NEWS. James Mbaka of @TheStarKenya is one of them. This story is FAKE. Conjured in the bowels of his fertile imagination to stir disquiet and push usual narratives against @TheODMparty. Takataka https://t.co/xujTBUlK5Z
