Independent candidates stand no chance of securing seats in ODM strongholds, Ugunja MP Opiyo Wandayi has said. "Those who call themselves independent candidates have no space in Nyanza or any ODM stronghold," he told the Star in a phone interview on Thursday. Wandayi said ODM candidates are expected to launch a spirited campaign to sweep all the six positions that will be on the ballot in the August 8 polls. His remarks came after a section of politicians from Nyanza region opted to vie as independent candidates after losing in the chaotic ODM primaries.
