Lang'ata parliamentary aspirant Silas Jakakimba has withdrawn from the race citing emerging and critical issues.
“Due to emerging and critical issues, assignment in the past several months, I've had to skip on my earlier intention to stand for elective public office," he said.
"...Including the Lang'ata Parliamentary seat - where I will offer all the support to whoever emerges as the Change Movement's candidate."
Mr Jakakimba who has served previously as Raila Odinga's PA noted that he will continue playing his role at Mr Odinga's presidential Secretariat.
“This is to ensure Raila clinches the much-awaited decisive and resounding win on RAUND1 by CoB August 9th, 2022,” he said.
“Even so, my desire to continue serving the people in the current and other capacities has never waned a bit.”
His exit leaves the contest for the ODM ticket between former doctors 's union boss Ouma Oluga and comedian Jalang'o who have declared interest in unseating incumbent Nixon Korir who was elected on a Jubilee ticket.
