Former Justice minister Eugene Wamalwa has denied claims that he is interested in the Bungoma senator seat.
Speaking to the Star on the phone yesterday, he said he does not know how the rumours started.
“If I wanted to become a senator, I would have vied in Trans Nzoia county in the March 4 election,” Eugene said.
He said, as a party leader, he will not “stoop low” to vie for the seat but he will support a candidate of his New Ford Kenya party instead.
Wamalwa said his party will win. The seat fell vacant after the High Court in Bungoma nullified the election of Sen- ate minority leader Moses Wetang’ula on grounds that his election was not free and affair.
