Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Agano Party presidential candidate David Mwaure has dismissed the recent opinion polls which showed he has less than five per cent popularity.<\/p>\n

Speaking to KTN News on Friday, Mwaure claimed that his popularity is more than what the poll firms indicated.<\/p>\n

“I’m concerned when two days ago when the three pollstars ran their findings and I wondered if it was choreographed. I believe I have surpassed what they have,” he said.<\/p>\n

Mwaure said there are places he has not been able to reach and campaign but with the use of social media, his reach is larger.<\/p>\n

“I do not believe in the figures they show,” he stressed.<\/p>\n

The Agano candidate expressed optimism that he will clinch the presidency come after the August 9 general election.<\/p>\n

“I’m very encouraged by a lot of things and I’m meeting many people who are saying that they will vote for me and they are with me,” he said.<\/p>\n

Mwaure is in the race against Raila Odinga of the Azimio la Umoja Umoja coalition, William Ruto of UDA and George Wajackoyah of Roots party.<\/p>\n
