On August 24, 2019, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) intensified preparations for its campaigns to retain the Kibra seat, which fell vacant following the death of Ken Okoth on July 26.
Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission chairman Wafula Chebukati announced that the mini-poll would take place on November 7, three months after National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi declared the seat vacant.
On Sunday, ODM leader Raila Odinga will unveil aspirants who have been cleared to run in party primaries for the Kibra by-election at a rally at Kamukunji grounds in Kibra.
According to Odinga's aide Dennis Onyango, the party leader will introduce the residents to those who want to have the ODM ticket, and the aspirants will then be given time to articulate their agenda for the constituency.
Onyango urged party supporters to turn up for the rally.
