One of the aspirants for the Kibra parliamentary seat in the November 7 by-election is now threatening to spill the beans after he sensed he may not get the nomination.

This is after the aspirant allegedly paid one of the officials of his party.

The official had reportedly asked for the cash with a promise he would be given a direct nomination by the party.

But the aspirant now fears the promise may not be kept after all, and has vowed to expose the rogue party official.

On Sunday, the Orange Democratic Movement ruled out giving a direct nomination to any of its members who have expressed interest in the running for the Kibra seat.

The Kibra seat fell vacant following death of Ken Okoth from colorectal cancer.

ODM aspirants will battle it out for the party's ticked on Saturday, August 31.
