Raila was speaking on Monday March 27 at Multimedia University where he met all women aspirants. In his remarks, he said that he is not ready to entertain any form of violence from any aspirant.
Specifically, he said that he won’t tolerate any form of violence directed towards female aspirants by their male counterparts.
The party leader further directed the party’s National Coordination Board to deal with and disqualify any candidate engaging in violent behavior during the much awaited exercise.
"I have mandated the NEB to take firm action, including disqualification, against aspirants who use underhand tactics including violence during upcoming nominations. Our ODM party policy of zero tolerance for all forms of political violence, especially violence against women aspirants, candidates and party activists must come alive in the nominations that begin next month; ZERO TOLERANCE FOR VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN IN POLITICS!" Raila said.
This warning comes amidst the rising cases of violence witnessed during Jubilee Party nominations across the country.
