Mombasa County is in a spin after the electoral commission barred former Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko from the race to succeed incumbent Hassan Joho in the August 9 election.
After a four-hour standoff at the Mombasa Government Training Institute (GTI), Sonko said he had not given up amid reports that he had instructed his lawyers to move to court to challenge the IEBC’s move. Sonko said the electoral body had violated his rights.
