The political landscape is being re-shaped after 215 aspirants were cleared yesterday by the Registrar of Political Parties to vie for positions of MP as independent candidates. Eleven candidates have been cleared as independent presidential candidates. Funyula MP Paul Otuoma, formerly of ODM, is among independent candidates. But most who applied to vie as independent candidates are from ODM and JP. “Our role is to check if the potential candidates belong to other parties and if their symbols are in conflict,” Ngala said.
