ODM party Voi branch chairman John Maghanga has denied reports that he has defected to the ruling Jubilee party.Maghanga accused his political rivals of peddling lies that he had ditched the Raila Odinga-led party ahead of the October 17 repeat presidential polls.He said he is in ODM to stay and focused on campaigning for NASA presidential candidate Raila."Those peddling lies should know that I am not going anywhere. Their desperation should not be taken seriously since they are trying to be politically relevant,” he said.He added that he is committed to strengthening the Orange Democratic Party (ODM) in Taita Taveta County and the coastal region at large.Presidential campaigns are at their peak as Jubilee and NASA hold campaigns across the country to seek votes in the fresh polls slated for October 17 after the Supreme Court nullified President Uhuru Kenyatta's August 8 victory. The Supreme Court on September 1, ordered the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to conduct fresh polls within 60 days.
