Ford Asili presidential aspirant Njeru Gathangu has skipped IEBC presidential candidates' clearance, saying he did not want to present himself to a slaughterhouse.

Isaac Oneka, the national chairman of Ford Asili, read the statement.

"We have come to the conclusion that IEBC has been unfair to many aspirants. It is a real slaughter to politicians. We refuse to come to the slaughterhouse," said Mr Oneka.

IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati was unimpressed by the accusation.

“I, therefore, disqualify Mr Njeru Gathangu as a presidential candidate and your statement is quite unfortunate. We are independent and we are not working for anyone but following the law,” said Mr Chebukati.
