Therefore, I come in as an independent candidate. “Independent” candidate means that I do not associate myself with any party and, therefore, I will appeal to voters to elect me. So I need the members of URP, ODM and Ford Kenya to nominate me as an independent candidate and this does not in any way kill democracy of political parties. I support this amendment."}
