A court in Mombasa has struck out portions of key evidence filed by former Senator Hassan Omar in his petition against Governor Hassan Joho's victory in the August 8 elections.
Justice Lydia Achode agreed with Mr Joho and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) that a section of Mr Omar's affidavit advancing rigging claims, including bribery of voters on August 8, was inadmissible because it was obtained from IEBC against established rules.
