The Wiper Party National Elections Board has summoned Matungulu MP Stephen Mule and his opponent Peter Makau for a crisis meeting to resolve a dispute between the two over Wiper ticket for Matungulu parliamentary race.

The summon follows a ruling by the High Court on Monday evening in which Wiper party’s national elections board was found to be in contravention of the Constitution for failing to hold party primaries in the constituency where both Mule and Makau had applied to be considered for nomination.
