Bonchari MP Zebedayo Opore has rubbished claims that he has lost his political grip adding that he will beat his opponents in 2017 elections.
The veteran MP was addressing his supporters at Riana on Monday where he accused his opponents of peddling propaganda against his leadership.
"I have never stolen victory for the last 15 years. Bonchari people have elected me for all the three terms. As of now, I still remain famous and popular in the region ahead of the August elections," he said.
Opore also claimed that his opponents where not familiar with the constituency and urged them to study the landscape before challenging him.
"Some some of these people do not know the whole constituency. I want to challenge them to move around and get a clear picture.They have no substance and my wish is that they drop off the race," he added.
