Businessman Zedekiah Bundotich alias Buzeki has joined the Uasin Gishu gubernatorial race as an independent candidate.

Mr Buzeki lost in the Jubilee Party primaries by incumbent Jackson Mandago.

On Thursday, he dispelled rumours that he had given up the race and gone back to his businesses.

“We have received calls in regard to a post. Be informed that it is a fake account orchestrating malice. Buzeki is still in the race. His clearance as an independent candidate was done on May 3,” read a statement send to newsrooms by his campaign team.

Mr Buzeki had challenged Mr Mandago’s win arguing that the party primaries held last month were marred with irregularities.
