Nairobi governor aspirant Miguna Miguna was turned away by the IEBC on Thursday when he went to present his nomination papers at Kasarani stadium, Nairobi. County returning officer Joseph Mele said he presented 2,000 signatures in JPEG, as opposed to the Excel format. Miguna, who wants to take over from ODM Governor Evans Kidero, dropped James Gathungu as his running mate and picked Karen Wangenye. He had unveiled Gathungu, 24, saying this was a spirited bid to incorporate youths into leadership. Six are being sponsored by parties while the rest are running as independent candidates.
