Former Gor Mahia striker Dennis Oliech has once again rubbished claims that he is planning to run for the vacant Kibra parliamentary seat.
Gor Mahia parted ways with Oliech earlier this week, over claims that he was venturing into politics.
But, the former Harambee Stars player on Wednesday rubbished having any interest in politics, adding that if he was interested, he would have gone for the Dagoretti North seat.
“If I wanted any seat I would have gone for Dagoretti North and not Kibra. I am not a resident at Kibra so the rumours do not make sense at all. To make it worse Gor Mahia have gone on to believe all the reports without even calling me to seek clarifications from my end,” he said as quoted by Standard.
About the photo making rounds on social media, he said the picture was sent to him, and he shared it with his friends.
"If I wanted to vie for the seat I would have surely made a public announcement. Somebody sent me the photo [showing Oliech on a political banner] on WhatsApp and I forwarded it to our group [the players' WhatsApp group] just trying to show I was not aware of the banner going around," he added.
The Kibra seat was left vacant following the death of its former holder Ken Okoth, while the Dagoretti North is currently held by Simba Arati.
