| Updated Mon, February 13th 2017 at 00:32 GMT +3Farah MaalimODM has declared it will field a candidate against former Deputy Speaker Farah Maalim for Garissa Township parliamentary seat. ODM leader Raila Odinga introduced Nasir Dolal alias Jofle, who narrowly lost to Aden Duale, as the party candidate. Maalim recently defected from Raila Odinga's ODM to Kalonzo Musyoka's Wiper party. Although National Super Alliance (NASA) leaders have shown unity in Nairobi and at other high profile meetings, the same was not the case when Raila held a rally in Garissa last week. Prominent leaders allied to Wiper party from the county were conspicuously absent from the rally.
