A section of locals have moved to court to stop the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) from reversing the transfer of over 50,000 voters.

Although the petition was filed by six affected voters on behalf of the 50,000, it is an extension of the raging political war between governor Ali Roba of Jubilee Party and his Economic Freedom Party (EFP) rival Hassan Noor Hassan.
