ODM leader Raila Odinga has said the party’s hierarchy had no preferred candidates for the August polls and criticised governors pushing for their own lineups.

Raila said all ODM governors intending to defend their seats on August 8 will be subjected to nominations and warned that anyone who causes chaos during the primaries will be disqualified.
