High Court nullifies election of Embu Governor Martin Wambora

The High Court on Thursday, February 22 nullified the election of Embu Governor Martin Wambora. 

The High Court had ordered the scrutiny and recount of votes in select polling stations in the Embu governor’s election last year.

Governor Martin Wambora was declared the winner with 97,760 votes. Former senator Lenny Kivuti, who was second with 96,775 votes, filed a petition challenging Mr Wambora’s win, claiming the election was marred by irregularities and malpractices.
