The National Elections Board (NEB) of the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has dispelled claims that it has declared Ms Ruth Odinga as the nominee for the Kisumu Governor’s seat in the March 4, General Election.
"The Board categorically states that it has not issued any information regarding the Kisumu gubernatorial contest and urges the residents of Kisumu to remain calm and maintain peace," said a press statement to the newsroom.
"The NEB says that reports in the mainstream media and information that is trending on the social media should be treated as rumours and therefore urges the public to ignore them," it added.
Meanwhile, the ODM Returning Officer who had earlier been reported to have been hijacked announced the winners for the party primaries in Nairobi.
Mr John Mulee declared Immigration Minister Otieno Kajwang as winner for Homa Bay Senatorial position and Mr Cyprian Awiti as Governor’s seat flag bearer.
Others are Gladys Wanga (Women Representative), Oyugi Magwanga (MP, Kasipul) Millie Odhiambo (MP, Mbita) and Omondi Anyanga (MP, Nyatike).
In Malava, Mr Alfred Said Kasavuli bagged the UDF parliamentary ticket while Mr Charles Mongare Geni is the ODM nominee for North Mugirango.
