Citizen Convention Party (CCP) leader Grace Akumu has dismissed allegations that she formed the party to rival ODM in Nyanza.
Ms Akumu, the widow of former Central Organisation of Trade Unions secretary general Denis Akumu, has faced criticism from Nyanza ODM leaders who have invited her to join the Orange party instead.
"CCP has no presidential candidate in 2017, and as we seek the other seats, our message is that our presidential votes go to Raila," she said.
