Mr Timberlake, a former Kenyan political activist who co-founded the
Platinum Centraliser and Unionist Party, fled his home country with his
wife to escape political persecution.
During the lead-up the ballot, Mr Timberlake was arrested numerous times and placed under house arrest by Kenyan police....
He later declared he would contest Kenyan elections in 2017.
"Our lives were in danger," Mr Timberlake's wife Esther Arunga told Kenyan newspaper The Standard in 2012.
"Some powerful people in government were doing everything to make sure that our political bid would never work. At the same time, we were undergoing traumatising scrutiny and attacks from the press. It was so unbearable."
