ODM electoral board chair Judith Pareno, whose earlier nomination raised a storm in NASA over the manner she conducted ODM primaries, has been omitted.
Also dropped by the coalition is former Bomet councillor Ronald Ng’eny, who has missed EALA nomination for the second time after failing to clinch a slot in 2012 .
