The Supreme Court has upheld the election of Laikipia Governor Ndiritu Muriithi.
The apex court judges dismissed a petition by a voter who claimed the governor did not qualify to vie for the seat. “It is clear that the main dispute in the petitionwas Mr Muriithi’s candidature as an independent candidate after the dispute that surrounded the Jubilee Party primaries. We find that the petition lacks merit since the issue had been resolved through other mechanisms,” ruled the judges.
