Senator Kennedy Mong'are's running mate Immaculate Onkangi has refuted claims that she is a clandestine to the lawmaker.
Mong'are is gunning for the Nyamira gubernatorial seat, after withdrawing from the presidential race in the eleventh hour.
Speaking to the press on Monday, Ms Onkangi said that there was nothing between her and the lawmaker outside politics, maintaining that she and the senator's relationship is only built on principled politics.
“We are united on one key mission - to bring sanity to the county by cleaning up all the existing mess. If Nyamira people want to give me a husband, let them go ahead but I doubt this is my primary goal as of now,” she said.
“He (Mong'are) had approached me solely on the account of being his running mate and this is how we ended up here. I believe he is a person of strong morals and principles and who wants the best for the Nyamira people,” she added.
Senator Mong'are will be facing off with the incumbent governor John Nyagarama, West Mugirango MP James Gesami, Ex-Kitutu Masaba MPs Walter Nyambati and Mwancha Okioma.
