Kenya Kwanza Vihiga Gubernatorial aspirant Alfred Agoi failed to be cleared after the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission found out that his running mate did not resign as a public officer.
The Sabatia MP who is running on an ANC party under Kenya Kwanza settled on Vincent Maitsi a former member of Vihiga County Public Service Board as his running mate.
The Vihiga County Returning Officer Peter Tiiyo while perusing the candidate’s document found out that Maitsi had resigned on May 10 and not on February 9 as required according to the electoral guidelines.
Agoi’s running mate was among the Ethics and Anti -Corruption Commission (EACC) listed persons who had integrity issues and under investigations for allegedly not having resigned before February 9 as required by the law for those seeking elective seats and were in the public service.
The candidate has been given until Tuesday June 7 to choose a new running mate.
