  • Sharlet Mariam has rejoined ODM just months after resigning from the opposition party to join Jubilee. 

    Speaking on Tuesday, November 10, Mariam announced that she had resolved her differences with the party after a meeting with former Prime Minister Raila Odinga. 

    The politician added that she had dropped her pursuit of the Msambweni MP seat in favour of ODM candidate Omar Boga.

    The opposition party was closing ranks to retain the seat which was previously held by the late Suleiman Dori. 

    The December 15 by-election will pit front runners Boga and independent candidate Feisal Abdallah Bader who enjoys the support of Deputy President William Ruto. 

    She had accompanied DP Ruto to the Jubilee Party headquarters to present her nomination papers but the party chose not to field candidates in respect of the handshake.

    “I came here to present my papers, but I am shocked that I will not be able to vie. Is Kenya returning to a one-party state?†Mariam stated in protest outside the Jubilee headquarters in Pangani, Nairobi.

    Political pundits argued that the decision not to field a Jubilee candidate in Msambweni was meant to curtail Ruto’s influence in the region. 

    After Mariam found herself in the middle of the drama between Jubilee and ODM she was abandoned by DP Ruto who threw his weight behind Feisal the following day.

    Voicing her frustrations, she stated that she would be running as an independent candidate. 

    “It is so sad that a woman is repressed when she stands out to fight for an equal right. I am ready to face all men. Dynasties or no dynasties,” she stated. 

    Asked whether she was aware that the DP was supporting Feisal, Mariam bitterly lamented that she was a victim of the row between Raila and Ruto.
