Imran disowns Twitter account attacking Mariga, KOT finger Itumbi

ODM candidate for the Kibra by-election, Imran Okoth, has disowned a Twitter account which has accused his opponent and Jubilee candidate, McDonald Mariga, of stealing his manifesto among other misdeeds.

In a tweet on Friday night, Imran said he is working to get his account verified and warned supporters against following @Imran_Okoth, which he said is a fake account.

Okoth reiterated his commitment to ODM party leader Raila Odinga and urged voters to turn out in big numbers to vote him in.

However, Kenyans on twitter have pointed fingers at Dennis Itumbi, arguing that he is the one responsible for Imran’s fake twitter account.

Imran is seeking to replace his brother, Ken Okoth, who succumbed to cancer in July.

Imran is among 24 candidates who will battle it out for the Kibra seat next Thursday.
