The aspiring lawmaker who has unsuccessfully contested the woman representative seat in the 2013 and 2017 polls, challenged ODM leadership led by the former Prime Minister to exercise impartiality in the entire process.
She claimed that Raila had asked Ghati not to contest instead requested her to rally her Kuria community behind the Azimio-OKA Coalition with a promise of a plum job should he win the presidency.
“2017 I won they took my victory and gave it to current Woman Rep Pamela Odhiambo. Today I won by landslide.”
“When Baba came to Kuria, he negotiated with the Kuria community and told them Ghati cannot win, she is not a strong candidate, she is not popular. I have tried to reach to ODM party officials and one of them told me that I cannot stop the process,” Fatuma stated while threatening to vie on an independent ticket.
