Arati Issues Way Forward on ODM Senator Ticket After Winnie Odinga Joins Race

Arati explained that the ODM ticket for Nairobi will be issued after a competitive process.

On Thursday, October 14, ODM Deputy Party Leader Simba Arati said that the party will conduct free and fair nominations for the Nairobi senatorial seat.

Arati explained that while EALA MP Winnie Odinga, who had earlier declared interest in the seat, is the late Raila Odinga's daughter, she would have to square it with other aspirants eyeing the seat.

"As ODM, I want to promise to all our followers that we will have a free and fair nomination, including for the Nairobi Senatorial position and any other position," he stated.

Arati made a clarion call to some of the leaders who had left the ODM Party to return to the political outfit to rebuild it, adding that the late Odinga would not want it divided.

However, he stated that those who left because of alleged enticements by a so-called sponsor should dissociate themselves from the party completely.
