Court nullifies Lugari MCA's 2022 election victory

A Kakamega Court has nullified the election of Amutete Grey Moi as Lugari Member of County Assembly (MCA)

This comes after one of his competitors, William Libombolo of the MDG Party, moved to court to challenge Moi's August 9, 2022 victory on grounds that he did not win fairly.

Delivering the ruling, Chief Magistrate Dolphina Alego cited malpractice and failure to adhere to election guidelines by IEBC officials. 

In his petition, Libombolo through his lawyer claimed that his agents were barred from accessing polling stations and that Moi was unfairly awarded an extra 181 votes.

Following the ruling, Alego instructed IEBC to organise a repeat election for Lugari Ward.

Chief Magistrate Alego similarly dismissed the nomination of Amos Munasya as Kakamega County Assembly's nominated MCA for ODM.

This is after ODM's Geoffrey Mitalo filed a complaint claiming that the party did not follow due process when making the nomination.
