NAIROBI: ODM has protested against a decision by the electoral agency to set aside less than a fortnight for party nominations ahead of the Homa Bay senatorial by-election.

The party's National Election Board (NEB) said the county is so vast that preparation for a nomination exercise requires time due to the large population and the number of candidates in the race.
