Editor's Review

A petitioner wanted Polycarp Igateh disqualified from the Nairobi gubernatorial race. 

The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) on Wednesday, June 15 dismissed a petition filed against Nairobi gubernatorial aspirant Polycarp Igathe.

IEBC's Dispute Resolution Committee stated that the petitioner George Bush lacked evidence to support his claims. 

“The committee abides that there is no evidence or material placed before it to fault the decision of the CRO regarding the registration of the interested party. And the committee hereof upholds the CRO’s decision with respect to the complaint in this matter, " the ruling read in part.

Bush wanted Igathe disqualified from the Nairobi race over claims he abdicated his duties after being elected in 2017 alongside former Nairobi governor Mike Sonko. 

However, on Monday the petitioner said he did not have evidence to back his claims.

IEBC's Dispute Resolution Committee is expected to make a ruling this week.
