Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua's win is at stake
after Former Kathiani MP Wavinya Ndeti moved to court to challenge his
win.
The former Legislator presented a 10,000- page
affidavit at the Machakos law court on Tuesday evening.
Details have now emerged that Siaya Senator James Orengo
will be among the lead lawyers representing Ndeti in the case, who vied on a
wiper ticket.
Orengo was among the lawyers, who
successfully argued President Uhuru Kenyatta's win at the
supreme court that was quashed.
Ndeti's lawyer, Daniel Maanzo, who was addressing the
press outside the court, stated that they had enough evidence to prove Mutua
did not win the gubernatorial race in accordance with the law.
"We have water-tight evidence to demonstrate Mutua did
not win the election in a free, fair, and transparent manner, as demanded by
law," he stated.
Mutua, who vied on a Maendeleo Chap Chap
party ticket, was declared the winner after garnering 249,954 votes
against Ndeti's 209,233.
According to Ndeti, she expects the court to nullify Mutua's
win just like the Supreme court did to Kenyatta's win.
Meanwhile, the fresh election between President Uhuru Kenyatta and Raila Odinga has been set on October 17, although the latter is yet to agree with the new dates.
IEBC has laso picked a new
team to lead the fresh polls with Ezra Chiloba being sidelined.
