Kileleshwa MCA Robert Alai has said Azimio leader Raila Odinga's daughter Winnie Odinga should have the EALA post, not because she is Raila's daughter but as an individual.
Winnie is among the six nominees who were fronted by ODM for the East Africa Legislative Assembly.
In a statement on Friday, Alai said Winnie should not be punished because she is from Raila's lineage.
"Just let Winnie Odinga be the EALA MP. She was born a politician and it’s her calling. EALA is a great start for her," he said.
"The Odinga family is uniquely political. They have done more good to Kenya. Let Winnie be."
Other ODM nominees include business man Suleiman Shahbal, Mohamed Diriye, Timothy Bosire, Beatrice Askul, and Justus Kizito.
The six represent Mombasa, Wajir, Nairobi, Nyamira, Turkana and Kakamega counties.
Kenya has nine seats up for grabs at the East African Legislative Assembly.
Five of the nine will go the Kenya Kwanza coalition while four will go to Azimio.
From the four, ODM is expected to have two seats while other affiliate parties; Jubilee and Wiper will each get a seat.
The committee will file a report and table it in the two Houses for debate before a vote is taken.
