The Machakos High Court has upheld the election of Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua.
Justice Muchelule Aggrey ruled in favour of Mutua, saying Wavinya Ndeti’s petition lacked merit.
“The petition lacks merit…the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) conducted a free, fair and credible election,” said Judge Muchelule.
Wavinya Ndeti was then ordered by the court to pay Sh10 million in costs.
Kenyans took to social media to react to the news, most recollecting Ndeti’s famous quote “Yaliyonwele Sipite" as she was campaigning:
Here is a sample of the reactions from social media:Wait until Wavinya swears herself in as Machakos people's governor #WavinyavsMutua
