By Standard Reporter

NAIROBI, KENYA: ODM leader Raila Odinga on Tuesday confirmed that the party elections will be conducted as earlier scheduled.

He urged party supporters to ignore rumors that the elections have been postponed.

“I wish to reaffirm that the Party will hold its elections on 28th February, 2014 as earlier announced, ODM supporters and those vying for various positions should ignore rumors to the effect that the elections have been postponed,” he said in a statement.

The former Prime Minister assured all candidates that the party values all of them and will favour none. Instead, it will ensure free, fair and transparent elections that will leave it stronger and representative of the various segments and interests.

He appealed for issue and fact based campaigns that take cognizance of the fact that the party’s real opponents are not those vying for positions currently, but the ones it is to face from other parties after the elections.
