Former Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero has dismissed reports that he plans to contest for governor in Homa-Bay County.

Dr Kidero, who is from Rangwe constituency, told residents to stop spreading rumours.

He spoke during a fundraiser at Wikoteng’ Secondary School in Rangwe and said he intended to go for a higher political seat.

An appeal by Governor Cyprian Awiti is still in court after his election was nullified.
