Wanjigi claimed that there is a plot by a section of ODM officials to prevent him from taking part in the party’s presidential nominations.

The presidential aspirant warned ODM party leadership against violating the party’s constitution on presidential ticket, saying that such a move will jeopardize the credibility of the party.

"My demands are simply that the spirit and the letter of the democratic tenets secured in the party constitution be followed. I will not relent from my demand for a democratic and people-driven process within the party so that we can face competitors as one solid force capable of forming the next government," said Wanjigi.

He was speaking at St Peters ACK Cathedral Church in Siakago, Mbeere North when laying the foundation stone for the construction of Green Blue Apartments for ACK women in Mbeere Diocese.

"I'm an ODM life member, I am fully aware of the methods the party may use to pick its presidential flag-bearer. I would like to remind Raila Odinga that the ODM constitution lays it out very well in Article 6 that all national officials shall be elected by the national delegates conference," he added.

    @Mugeni stop nonsense.Like kina Kamau,Mwai,Muigai,Wanjigi is running for presidency as an individual not as a MuGikuyu.You ought to know Wanjigi is being used by Raila as one of those who thumb/lick Raila’s mukundu after he poops.But while yours is barking Raila juu everywhere,thug Wanjigi is rewarded handsomely by his fellow gangsters.RISASI TU.
