Lawyer Edwin Sifuna and Bukachi Chapia are embroiled in a fight over who will fly ODM's flag in the Nairobi senator race. Chapia on Friday claimed he was implored by ODM leader Raila Odinga to step down for Sifuna but declined the request. "We had a meeting with Raila, Governor Evans Kidero, Lawyer Sifuna and 15 members of my political committee at Capital Hill office." I informed Sifuna that I'll sue him as a person and the ODM party for going against my democratic right in the party." "This is why I have accepted the party's nomination as its Senate candidate in the great county of Nairobi," Sifuna said in a statement.
