CORD faces tough challenge in Kajiado Central

Kajiado, Kenya: Aspirants wishing to contest the Kajiado Central parliamentary seat on an Orange Democratic Party (ODM) ticket have until tomorrow to collect their application forms.

The party is fighting to recapture the seat left vacant following the appointment of Joseph Nkaissery as Interior Cabinet Secretary. ODM had initially demanded that the Jubilee Coalition avoids fielding a candidate, arguing that the President had poached Nkaissery; who had been elected on an ODM ticket. However, the ruling coalition told the Opposition to brace for a duel.
