Fortune favours the bold is a maxim Alice Muthoni Wahome, the two-term legislator for Kandara, has embraced after election losses in 2002 and 2007.
Her 2007 election loss exerted a particularly heavy burden on Wahome, since her petition challenging the result in the High Court was never determined because the judges appointed to hear it - Joseph Nyamu and Philomena Mwilu - were appointed to the Court of Appeal before concluding the case.
The judgment, covering only the costs of the suit, was delivered nearly a decade later on April 24, 2017. The delay, as well as the finding by the Court of Appeal - of which Mwilu was a member - that the appointment of the first Supreme Court judges was not unconstitutional for not adhering to the gender inclusion principle - would remain a source of rancour for Wahome, who sought to block Mwilu's appointment as the country's Deputy Chief Justice.
