A repeat of ODM primaries scheduled to take place April 28 in Mombasa County has been rescheduled to April, 29 following a hitch in ballot paper names. The repeat exercise was planned for 19 polling stations in 6 wards in the coastal region. A chain of dramatic scenes and reports of immense irregularities characterized ODM nominations in some parts of Mombasa, forcing a number of the candidates to appeal to the ODM National Tribunal. Former Journalist and Nyali Member of Parliament aspirant Mohammed Ali appealed to the tribunal contesting the issuance of an interim certificate to Said Abdallah following alleged tallying irregularities and voter bribery. The party’s Acting Secretary General Agnes Zani assured the public and aspirants of a free and fair nomination exercise.
