Ugenya MP Chris Karan loses seat

The Supreme Court has ordered the IEBC to conduct fresh elections in Ugenya constituency.

The apex court upheld the Court of Appeal’s ruling which nullified Chris Karan’s win in the August 2017 vote.

The High court and the Court of Appeal had both nullified the election arguing that it was not free and fair.

The cases followed a petition by David Ochieng’ – an independent candidate, citing irregularities.

Karan, who won through an ODM ticket, moved to the Supreme Court after his win was nullified.

In September, National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi declared the seat vacant in a letter to IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati on September 11.
