NAIROBI—The Supreme Court is set to make a ruling on Friday on the appeal case challenging the poll victory of Wajir governor.
Contained in a notice seen by Kulan Post, the ruling will be made on the application whether to accept new evidence.
If the appellant’s application is thrown out it will deal a blow to the hope the appeal is anchored on.
The former governor and aspirant in the last elections, Ahmed Muhumed have challenged the election victory of Wajir governor at the High Courts on September, one month after the polls.
On January, Justice Mabeya ruled in favour of the petitioners, saying the embattled governor did not have a valid degree. He added that the election was not conducted as per the electoral laws of the country.
Lost his case at the High Court, Mohamed Abdi moved to the Appeals Court flanked by his main backer, Eldas MP Aden Keynan.
On April, a three-judge bench upheld the High Court ruling. The governor has since moved to the Supreme Court.
