ODM's National Elections Board has put on hold Taita Taveta primaries scheduled to take place on Saturday. Director of communication Philip Etale said nominations at the five polling stations will not take place until a petition by one of the aspirants against the decision is heard and determined. The party had put on hold the announcement of nomination results for the county until after five polling stations conduct exercise. The party's disciplinary committee has also summoned a Catholic priest and five aspirants over violence that has marred party primaries countrywide. Others are the Vicar general of Rakwaro Catholic church Father Richard, and ODM Migori County coordinating committee chairman Phillip Makabongo.
