Kisumu: Senator Anyang' Nyong'o has dispelled claims that he will be handed the ODM ticket for the governor's race.

The senator, who has declared his interest in dislodging Governor Jack Ranguma, Sunday denied claims that his closeness with the party's top leadership will favour his candidature.

He said party leader Raila Odinga had assured all candidates that the nominations would be free and fair.

"The party leader said clearly that the nominations will be done next year February and it will be free and fair," he said.
