Africa-Press<\/a> – Kenya<\/a>. <\/strong><\/span>The ODM Party on Wednesday, January 6, 2021, unveiled candidates for the upcoming by-elections set to be held in various parts of the country.<\/p>\n

The candidates will contest for the vacant seats in Matungu Constituency, Kiamokama Ward, London Ward and Huruma Ward.<\/p>\n

Deputy Party Leader Governor Wycliffe Oparanya led NEB Chairperson Catherin Mumma and ODM Director of Elections Junet Mohamed in a ceremony held at Chungwa House to issue the nomination certificates.<\/p>\n

Oparanya issued certificates to David Were who will contest the Matungu Parliamentary seat that was declared vacant following the untimely demise of Justus Murunga.<\/p>\n

Andrew Sure clinched the party’s ticket to contest the vacant Huruma Ward MCA seat, whereas Stephen Ochieng was given the greenlight to carry the party flag in London Ward.<\/p>\n

ODM stated that the candidates were ready for the elections, assuring that they would deliver their respective seats for the party.<\/p>\n

The Party nominations were contested by a number of individuals prior to the determination of the eventual victors.<\/p>\n

The party had informed that there had been three interested candidates for the Matungu Parliamentary seat; Were, Paul Posho and Jeremiah Namunyu, however, only Were submitted his nomination form back to the party.<\/p>\n

ODM is expected to face off with other popular parties in the region in Amani National Congress (ANC) and FORD Kenya, which have already fielded candidates for the race.<\/p>\n

ANC fielded Peter Oscar Nabulindo to contest the by-elections in a bid to retain the Matungu seat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
