Among those sources have revealed were to be nominated are ODM Party Secretary General Agnes Zani and the party’s national elections board boss Judy Pareno whose name parliamentarians and primaries losers threatened to shoot down from the East African Legislative Assembly (EALA).
On Monday, yesterday the ODM elections boss Judy Pareno was found guilty of contempt for not tallying results in disputed Muhoroni constituency Member of Parliament nominations and the Chief Justice David Maraga was to give directions.
Ayiecho Olweny contested the results of the ODM nominations in Muhoroni Constituency against incumbent James K'oyoo.
Ms Pareno however failed to appear in court and instead sent a representative in the matter which ODM party was also not represented in court.
Other who have sent twin appeals to the party not to leave them in the cold are the Kisumu Women Representative Rose Nyamunga who lost to Rosa Buyu in the ODM primaries and is now seeking nomination to the Senate or the National Assembly.
She has applied for the two chances just like her Kakamega County counterpart Rachael Amolo.
Other parties affiliated to the NASA coalition have also revealed that they were receiving overwhelming applications some of whom are those from those who lost in MCA nominations.
