The two have huge following that it became an issue for the party to consolidate their the bases. It took the intervention of the election board and the party leader Raila Odinga to bring the contestants together to come to a consensus in which they both agreed to back Nassir.
ODM leaders led by Raila when they made the pronouncement.
