Malava MP David Ndakwa has secured a major legal victory after the Kakamega High Court dismissed a petition challenging his election in the recent by-election.
Justice Stephen Mbugi ruled that the petition filed by Ndakwa’s rival, Seth Panyako, lacked merit, effectively affirming Ndakwa as the duly elected Member of Parliament for Malava Constituency.
The judge held that the petitioner had failed to provide sufficient evidence to warrant nullification of the election results declared by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
