High Court nullifies election of Babu Owino as MP for Embakasi East constituency

High Court on Friday, March 2, nullified August 8, 2017 election of Babu Owino as Member of Parliament for Embakasi East constituency – Delivering his final ruling at Milimani Law Court in Nairobi, High Court Judge Joseph Sergon said the election was not free and fair – Owino’s election victory was being challenged by Jubilee candidate Francis Mureithi who held that the poll was marred by irregularities – High Court on Monday, February 12, 2018 ordered for vote recount in Embakasi East – Though the election has been nullified, the vote recount showed Owino won the Embakasi East parliamentary race against Mureithi.
