A petition seeking to block Polycarp Igathe from the Nairobi governorship has been dismissed.

The petitioner, George Bush, had told the IEBC’s Dispute Resolution Committee that Igathe was unfit to run for the gubernatorial seat because he abdicated his duties when he was serving as Nairobi Deputy Governor during Mike Sonko’s tenure.
