ODM Dismisses Wanjigi as a Delegate & Locks him Out of the NDC Meeting

In a statement, the party's Nairobi Chairman George Aladwa said the list of delegates was prepared in December 2021 and Wanjigi was not included.

"The Nairobi ODM branch and sub-branches held its elections that closed on 8th December 2021 and we have checked the list of delegates and we haven't found his name either at the ward, constituency, or county level," Aladwa said.

Aladwa said the list of delegates from the polling centers to the branches has already been submitted to the National Elections Board (NEB) for purposes of preparing for the coming National Delegates Convention (NDC) slated for Friday and Saturday this week.

"This is therefore to caution one Jimi Wanjigi to desist from claiming to be a legitimate delegate when he is just an ordinary member of the party," Aladwa added.

On Sunday, Wanjigi said he will attend the NDC as a delegate and life member of the party.

"I'm a life member of ODM and a delegate from Nairobi. I will attend the NDC and demand to speak," he said.

The businessman has also moved to court to challenge the upcoming NDC saying it was convened irregularly.

Wanjigi, who has since declared his interest in the presidential seat, filed a petition at the Political Parties Dispute Tribunal through his proxies.

In the court documents, he said the party should undergo a nomination process in filling its presidential candidate ahead of the August 9 general election.
