Aspirant: TNA delisted me

A candidate for the Mathare parliamentary by-election now claims his name has been removed from the TNA nomination list. 

Samson Ojiayo said the initial number of candidates battling for the TNA ticket was five but he has reliably learnt that his name was struck out. 

"I have been informed that some senior officials in the party are working hard to ensure that the former MP George Wanjohi has been handpicked for the seat by TNA party. They don't want to exercise democracy in the party,"said Ojiayo.

He said that he had talked to party secretary General Onyango Oloo who allegedly told him that production of ballot papers had been finalised and nothing could be reversed.

Speaking at Jeevanjee Gardens yesterday, Ojiayo said that what he wants to see is his name on the ballot box during the nominations or he will seek legal redress.
