Nakuru Senator Susan Kihika has downplayed a petition challenging her suitability to contest the governorship over claims she failed to duly declare her citizenship as prescribed in law.

A voter, Joseph Kimani, on June 20 filed the petition before the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) seeking to bar her from vying for Nakuru governorship.
