Kajiado East MP Peris Tobiko who was vying for the governor’s seat on a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) wants the primaries repeated after she failed to clinch the nomination in the exercise conducted yesterday.
Tobiko was speaking at the county tallying centre where she described the nomination process as messy, shambolic and lacking credibility.
She alleged that a number of top UDA officials had interfered, and helped their preferred candidates to win. She said she had enough evidence to back her rigging claims.
