The Orange Democratic (ODM) has clarified that the forthcoming party National Delegates Conference (NDC) will go on as planned.

ODM Secretary General Anyang’ Nyong’o has dispelled rumours that the convention to elect new office bearers will be postponed

“The rumours that the elections will be pushed forward are baseless and made to cause unnecessary tension. We will hold the event as earlier planned,” Nyong’o said at Orange House accompanied by party Executive Director Magarer Langat.

The outgoing official also asked various aspirants to refrain from making statements that undermine party institutions.

The Kisumu Senator assured all the candidates that the party would hold free, fair and credible elections.

This comes a day after some aspirants alleged that the party’s national elections board as currently constituted could not be trusted, as some of the members had served in the previous team that bungled nominations.

 The party will today unveil the names of aspirants for various seats for the February 28 and March 1 party elections.
