Marakwet East MP Kangogo Bowen retained his seat yesterday after the Court of Appeal in Eldoret overturned an earlier decision nullifying his election victory.

Justices Erastus Githinji, Hannah Okwengu and Jamila Mohammed ruled that the petitioners had failed to give enough evidence to prove their claims that the August 8 poll was flawed.
