Mr Thuo Mathenge an industrialist has been struck out of the Nyeri gubernatorial race, IEBC's spokesman Andrew Limo confirned the news on Wednesday.

Limo said the commission would issue a statement later Wednesday concerning the matter.

The woes keep pilling on Mathenge after Jubilee Party rejected him in April primaries on claims he had fake papers but IEBC cleared him in June.

This comes a day after IEBC also disqualified the candidature of Rarieda's independent candidate Agostino Neto due to breach of electoral code of conduct.

“The Electoral Code of Conduct Enforcement Committee notes that the said Netto Adhola failed, neglected and ignored to obey any of the Orders or at all,” IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati said in a statement.
