Fred from Kayole writes: “Fr Omolo Beste what is your take on TNA Secretary General, Onyango Oloo’s claim that TNA was closely monitoring ODM elections with an aim of conducting a massive recruitment exercise within CORD zones.
According to Oloo President Uhuru Kenyatta’s TNA has set out plans to cash in the ongoing leadership wrangles in the former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and the highly likely botched party’s election scheduled for February 28th and March 1st.
Oloo says ODM’s election would tear the party apart following tough stance held by the community over top seats and that it would be the right time to strike Raila Odinga and weaken his support base by recruiting his own disgruntled supporters mainly from Nyanza and Western, saying it was the only way to finish Raila Odinga’s political future and for TNA to perform better in 2017. Do you think this is possible?”
Thank you for the question Fred. I think Onyango Oloo is right, given that President Uhuru owns TNA and has the money to buy people.
If the claim that the ODM National Elections Board has produced the final list of candidates the party wants to contest for various seats in the upcoming party elections, then Oloo is right that this line up would tear party apart and TNA will definitely find its way to botch.
According to the claimed list of people ODM wants, out of the 93 candidates, only 86 were cleared to vie with the list generating heat from the disgruntled Young Turks, who have vowed to embarrass former Prime Minister Raila Odinga by failing his so called “preferred candidates”.
Here is the preferred final list of ODM contestants for all positions.
Party Leader- Raila Oding aacording to the claim is to capture the leadership and not Simba Arati. This is because Raila owns the party
Deputy Party Leader- Wycliffe Oparanya, Hassan Joho, David Songok Langat.
