Governor Mutua's final round win comes after his victory was reversed after his rival, former Kathiani MP Wavinya Ndeti, convinced the Court of Appeal that the Machakos governorship results were manipulated to favour her competitor.

She had appealed after Machakos High Court Judge Aggrey Muchelule ruled that her petition lacked merit and upheld Mutua's victory.

While defending his win at the Supreme Court, Mutua argued the procedural technicalities in last year's elections did not warrant the nullification.
