Former presidential candidate Mohammed Abduba Dida is serving a seven-year jail term at Big Muddy River Correctional Centre in Illinois, US.
His 2022 conviction stems from charges of stalking and intimidating an unidentified individual in the US.
Sentenced on November 18, 2022, Dida is expected to leave the facility on April 3, 2029.
Dida, the former teacher who rose to the national limelight during Kenya’s 2013 presidential race, was found guilty of two charges; first for stalking and transmitting threats, which resulted in a two-year sentence and the second count for aggravated stalking and violation of a restraining order which saw the court slap him with a five-year sentence.
