Monday January 14, 2019-Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party has vehemently denied proposing a nominee for Nairobi Deputy Governorship position.
In a statement, the party denied that it had fronted Rahab Wangui to be Governor Mike Sonko’s Deputy.
This is after Sonko revealed on Friday that he had postponed naming of his Deputy after receiving a request from ODM leadership to consider their proposed nominee.
Sonko divulged that he had decided to push announcement in the spirit of the handshake and subsequent co-operation with the ruling coalition.
"I was ready with a nominee but I received a letter from NASA requesting me to consider their nominee.”
“Therefore, I shall not be forwarding the name in the spirit of handshake to allow for more consultation," Sonko said.
But according to ODM Secretary-General, Edwin Sifuna, ODM does not intend to be associated with the mess at City Hall.
“We did not send any name for deputy governorship position because we do not want to be associated with the mess that happened in Nairobi,” Sifuna remarked.
