The election petition filed by the immediate former member of parliament for Embakasi Ferdinand Waititu contesting the gazettement of Dr Evans Kidero as Nairobi governor-elect will proceed to full trial. Justice Mumbi Ngugi who heard the application for the petition said that it was filed within the stipulated time of 28 days after gazettement as per the constitution. The chief justice is now expected to appoint a judge who will preside over the case that seeks to challenge the announcement of Kidero as the winner of the gubernatorial race for Nairobi county. Waititu filed the case on March 14, citing irregularities in the poll. He further claimed that some voters in various constituencies cast their votes twice in favour of Kidero. Kidero was declared winner by the IEBC in the race for the Nairobi governor seat in which he garnered 692,483 votes to Waititu's 617,839 votes. Waititu's poll petition to be heard | The Star
