The ODM National Election Board may be forced to cancel the Nyamira governor nomination if a petition by West Mugirango MP James Gesami is approved. Gesami, who lost to Governor John Nyagarama in a tightly contested race on Wednesday, wants the exercise nullified over alleged massive irregularities. Gesami said most of his supporters were not allowed to participate in the nomination as their names were not in the membership register. This exercise was null and void,” says Gesami in his petition to Orange House on Wednesday. He says polling materials and election officials were all delivered by officers working in the Nyamira government and family members of the governor.
