USAWA Party presidential candidate Governor Mwangi Wa Iria has nominated Kisii politician Alfayo Onyambu as his running mate for the August 9 General Election ahead of the May 16 deadline .
Onyambu vied for the Kisii Senatorial seat in the 2017 general election under the Jubilee Party and lost to ODMs Sam Ongeri
Wa Iria insists that he will be on the ballot for the top seat dismissing calls for him to back out of the race.
The two-time governor, who portrays himself as a third force in the presidential race, has refused to join the Azimio-One Kenya and Kenya Kwanza alliances which appear to be leading the pack.
