PRESS RELEASE
ODM OFFICIAL POSITION ON THE MACHAKKOS SENATORIAL BY-ELECTION
The ODM Party has over the years enjoyed a cordial working relationship with the Wiper Party of Kenya. The two parties have been partners and shared many ideologies. In the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI), the ODM party and Wiper Party share the common position of a better Kenya, a United Kenya and a Prosperous Kenya. We were in CORD together and later on in NASA.
As a party, we did not front a candidate for the seat which fell vacant following the death of Senator Boniface Kabaka late last year. And therefore, in the spirit of NASA and BBI, the ODM party has resolved to rally its support behind the Wiper Party Candidate, Ms. Agnes Kavindu to become the next Senator of Machakos County.
