Nominated MP Oburu Oginga has allegedly threatened to commit suicide if Gem MP Jakoyo Midiwo is given the ODM nominations certificate. This is according to Midiwo, who said his cousin Oburu declared the certificate will be issued "over his dead body". Midiwo said ODM leader Raila invited him to Nairobi to present his case to the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal. The legislator further implicated Oburu saying Gem returning officer Willis Anayo was under "strict instructions from above" to ensure Odhiambo was declared winner.
