Today he is the ODM lawyer filing a case against me. He has filed malicious documents obtained from social media,” the MP said.Onyango and Okong’o have denied being behind the plot.Anyanga said he won the ODM ticket fair and square as was affirmed by the ruling of the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal and the High Court.Last week, ODM disowned the clearance of the lawmaker as the party nominee for Nyatike.
