Tala MCA Alex Kamitu's poll victory challenged

Maendeleo Chap Chap party leader Alfred Mutua

A former councilor has moved to court to challenge the election of Tala Member of County Assembly (MCA) Alex Kamitu.

Boniface Muisyo, who was the Wiper candidate in the race, is seeking nullification of Mr Kamitu's win.

Kamitu was elected on Maendeleo Chap Chap party ticket. The former civic leader filed the petition in a Kangundo court seeking a declaration that the August 8 poll was not conducted in accordance with the law and should therefore be declared null and void.

Muisyo also wants the court to declare that Kamitu was not validly elected as the MCA and that IEBC should oversee a fresh election for the said Ward.
