Except for Raila Odinga’s Orange Democratic Movement (ODM), NASA’s affiliate parties are giving more direct tickets than those to be contested at nominations.

For all its might, Kalonzo Musyoka’s Wiper Democratic Movement is only conducting gubernatorial nominations in Kitui and Machakos and Senatorial contests in three counties — Kitui, Mombasa and Wajir.
