Former Inspector General of police David Kimaiyo has dismissed reports that he has bowed out of the Elgeyo Marakwet Senatorial race for the August polls.
The KANU candidate termed the reports falsehoods being peddled by his rivals.
He is facing stiff competition from Jubilee’s Kipchumba Murkomen.
Reports had earlier indicated that top Jubilee leaders had approached him to quit the race.
“No one has approached me and if there were such a request I would not accept it,” he said.
“Those saying Kimaiyo has been approached and his campaign money paid back are just panicking. I will be in this race to the end.”
He was speaking in Kapsowar on Saturday during a campaign rally.
“I officially started my campaigns on May 29 and I have covered 16 wards. I am covering the remaining four before beginning the second round of campaigns in all the 20 wards,” Kimaiyo said.
