'I am ready to be the president of Kenya come 2022' - Alfred Mutua's victory speech

Machakos County Governor Alfred Mutua is a happy man after Justice Aggrey Muchelule of Machakos High Court upheld his win on Friday, February 9. This was after the court dismissed petitioner Wavinya Ndeti’s as lacking merit.

Wavinya Ndeti, the Former Kathiani Member of Parliament had moved to court saying Governor Mutua’s win in the August 8 elections was marred with irregularities and that Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) erroneously declared Mutua the winner of the Governor seat.

In her petition, she also accused Governor Mutua of contravening laws by using county resources including vehicles and funds to campaign for his re-election.

She wanted the election results nullified and fresh elections held. The court, however, dismissed her claims saying the activity carried out by IEBC was a free, fair and credible affair.

Mutua, celebrating his win read a pre-written speech amid cheers from his supporters.
