Mathenge was disqualified over academic papers.
He has since written to the Jubilee Party for the refund through his lawyers.
“My competitors colluded with some party officials to lock me out. They feared my candidature given that I was in the race in 2013 and I have remained popular,” Mr Mathenge said.
“I used the same academic papers to vie in 2013 and IEBC allowed me. JP’s move to disqualify me have a lot of questions but I decided not to sue them.”
Although the party had accepted his nomination papers, it later refused to clear him on grounds that his academic papers are questionable.
