Former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko will be on the ballot in the August 9 General Election after being cleared by the Court.
A three-judge bench comprising Justices Olga Sewe, Stephen Githinji and Ann Ong’injo, sitting at the High Court in Mombasa delivered its judgment.
Mr Sonko further argued that failure by the county returning officer to receive his original degree certificate and its certified copy was part of an intentional ploy to delay its submission past the timelines indicated.
He further accused the DRC of dismissing his statement that there was a pending appeal at the Supreme Court (challenging his impeachment). Through his lawyers, led by Wilfred Nyamu and Dr John Khaminwa, Mr Sonko urged the court to allow his petition, arguing that Ms Ibrahim had a duty to investigate if there was a pending appeal (relating to his impeachment) at the Supreme Court since the IEBC was also a party to it.
