HON. RAILA SUPPORTS JOINT NOMINATIONS IN CORD AND FIELDING OF SINGLE CANDIDATES ON COALITION TICKET:
CORD leader Rt. Hon Raila Odinga is in agreement with the proposal by co-principal Hon Kalonzo Musyoka’s for joint nominations between the parties forming the CORD and the fielding of candidates on CORD flag in a similar fashion with that of Narc in 2002 elections.
In this arrangement, all parties will present candidates for nomination and the overall winner will fly the coalition’s ticket as ODM/ CORD, Wiper/ CORD or Ford Kenya/CORD.
The coalition will encourage the other parties willing to come on board to support this arrangement that enables them retain their identity while flying the corporate CORD flag.
This arrangement will help the coalition avoid competition between constituent parties that saw them split votes and lose seats in some cases.
