[Peterson Githaiga, Standard]ODM has accused businessman Jimi Wanjigi, who is hoping to run on the party's ticket in next year's presidential election, of jumping the gun by launching campaigns. On August 8, at Aberdare Country Club in Nyeri County, Wanjigi met a group of people who described themselves as ODM delegates. Start NowMbadi said the group could have been ODM members or Wanjigi's sympathizers but not party delegates. He urged Wanjigi to wait until the party announces the legitimate delegates before he embarks on presidential campaigns. Mbadi faulted Wanjigi for embarking on campaigns prematurely in a move that appears to have rattled some ODM stalwarts.
