Candidates seeking Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) tickets to run for governorship could be required to part with Sh1 million, up from Sh300,000 paid by aspirants in 2013.

Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s party is considering increasing the nomination fees for various positions to raise more revenue to fund activities ahead of next year’s General Election and also limit the number of aspirants in the primaries.
