On September 6, 2019, the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) imposed strict rules on nominations in the Kibra constituency, sparking controversy among aspirants.
The rules, which were announced by the party, require aspirants to meet certain criteria before being cleared to contest in the upcoming elections.
According to sources, the rules include a requirement for aspirants to have a clean record, both financially and morally, and to have a strong track record of community service.
The move has been met with criticism from some aspirants who feel that the rules are too stringent and will unfairly disadvantage them.
