Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga’s ODM party faces a politically charged week as the outfit rolls out crucial primaries in its Nyanza stronghold, a process that has already sparked claims of bias and favouritism.

The nominations, seen as a key step in consolidating ODM’s grassroots machinery ahead of the November 27 by-elections, have triggered heated contests in constituencies regarded as Raila’s bedrock of support.
