Justice Antony Mrima exempted a Member of County Assembly from requiring a university degree to vie. Subsequently, all MCA candidates were cleared by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) without a university degree.
Article 180(2) provides “to be eligible for election as county governor, a person must be eligible for election as a member of the county assembly.” This means if MCA candidates were cleared to vie without a degree, governorship candidates should also be cleared without a degree because their qualification to vie is the same as that of one vying as an MCA.
