A day after Restore and Build Kenya party Presidential candidate Pete Ondeng opted out of the race, Nyamira senator Kennedy Mong'are Okongo has also dropped his bid.

Mong'are has said he has made the decision after he failed to collect signatures from 2,000 unaligned voters in at least 24 counties.

Ondeng' on Monday endorsed Joe Nyagah who is running as an independent.

He announced his bid in December last year hoping to the change the fact that 'Kenyans have been betrayed by subsequent governments since independence.'

Mong'are said he is not a spoiler, and further reiterated that he is 'not a project'.
