Kesses parliamentary aspirant Dr Swarrup Mishra has dismissed claims that he is among aspirants being fronted by operatives at the office of the Deputy president William Ruto.
Speaking to the press at the Racecourse Primary school in the outskirts of Eldoret town, Monday, Mishra insisted that he was only banking on the support of the people to win the Jubilee party ticket.
The Mediheal group of Hospitals Chief Executive Officer further urged voters to turn up in large numbers and take part in the Jubilee nominations scheduled for this Friday.
"I am not a project of anybody. I have been doing my campaigns seeking for votes across the constituency like any other candidate and I believe its the people who will have a final say of whom they want," said Dr Mishra.
There have been claims that some officials in the office of the Deputy President have a list of preferred candidates for several seats in the North rift region raising concerns that party primaries might not be free and fair.
Dr Mishra is considered among the frontrunners to clinch the Kesses parliamentary Jubilee party ticket that is also being sought by incumbent James Bett, Uasin Gishu County Assembly Speaker Isaac Terer, former MP David Koros and Allan Kosgey, son to once powerful minister Henry Kosgey.
