Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Party Leader Oburu Oginga has assured party members that the party's nomination process ahead of the 2027 General Election will be free, fair and devoid of favoritism, in a move aimed at addressing longstanding concerns over the issuance of direct tickets.

Speaking during a meeting with a delegation from Taita Taveta County, Oburu said all aspirants seeking ODM tickets would be subjected to a transparent nomination process, insisting that only those who emerge victorious in party primaries would secure the party's endorsement.

"There will be no favouritism in the coming elections. The one who wins the primaries will be the one awarded the party ticket," Oburu said.
