The Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) has accused Jubilee Party of fielding footballer McDonald Mariga in the Kibra by-election as a dry run for Deputy President William Ruto’s presidential ambition.

The party said at Joseph Kang’ethe Primary School in Kibra yesterday that the DP was using Kibra to test his clout in the city and had no real intent of ensuring a qualified candidate was elected.
