A Kiambu MCA aspirant was on Monday charged for allegedly attempting to rape one of his female campaigners.
George Kinyanjui who will vie for Ngecha Tigoni MCA on a Democratic Party ticket is said to have asked the woman for sexual favours while they were inside his car at Rironi area, and attempted to rape her on May 11.
Kinyajui denied the charge before Limuru senior resident magistrate Karen Njalale.
He also denied the alternative charge of assaulting the woman and causing her bodily harm.
The aspirant requested the court to supply him with witness statements.
The magistrate ordered the prosecution to supply him with the documents he requested and asked his lawyer to get the hearing date for the case to be heard as soon as possible.
Kinyanjui was released on Sh250,000 bond.
Outside court, resident Nancy Wanjiku said condemned the crime but said a final ruling will help them decide whether the politician is fit for office.
