Former presidential candidate Ekuru Aukot of the Thirdway Alliance has dismissed as 'utter nonsense and propaganda', claims doing rounds that he was bribed billions of shillings by Jubilee so as to participate in the rerun.

Aukot said he participated in the elections with the desire to offer Kenyans an alternative leadership.

“I do not belong to NASA or ODM to have resigned after Raila Odinga withdraw from the race. I followed the High Court order which directed IEBC to include my name on the ballot,” Aukot said.

Aukot said he accepted to pate part in the election after the electoral body guaranteed the exercise would be free and fair.

“The IEBC explained to us how they would conduct the voting, tallying and the result's transition process and we were happy,” Aukot said.

He spoke during a radio interview on Wednesday morning.
