This is ODM of conmaship that has come in. This conmanship and pride has come in after shaking hands with UhuRuto,\u201d said Wanjigi.<\/p>\n<p>Wanjigi has therefore called Raila Odinga to come out and save the party from the imminent downfall, failure to which he will convene a delegates meeting to chart the way forward.<\/p>\n<p>Wanjigi who has been a fierce critic of the Jubilee government, further warned that the administration had messed up the economy of the country, saying that the party would not associate with such failures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThose who have caused the country to crumble economically are now saying that they are supporting my party leader. That is not possible,\u201d said the businessman turned politician.<\/p>\n<p>Recently, Jimi Wanjigi has crisscrossed the country seeking support from ODM members to become the party\u2019s flagbearer in the upcoming general elections.<\/p>\n<p>He has maintained constant attacks against the party\u2019s leadership over their managerial style, insisting on the need for free and fair party nominations. Wanjigi has vowed to square it out with Raila Odinga and other aspirants during the party primaries, in the search for the party\u2019s presidential flag bearer.<\/p>\n<p>The businessman was a formidable force in UhuRuto\u2019s in 2013, where he admitted to running a parallel vote tallying center for the duo.<\/p>\n<p>He later switched camps towards the 2017 general election joining the Raila-led National Super Alliance (NASA), performing a similar role of operating a parallel tallying center to that of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, (IEBC).<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/kenya\">Kenya<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Kenya.
