The apex court on Friday ruled that Karan was not validly elected.

It further directed the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to conduct a fresh parliamentary election in the constituency.

The ruling is a win for former Ugenya MP David Ochieng who filed a petition protesting against Karan's win.

In the petition, Ochieng argued that his rival and the opposing party used smear campaigns against him.

According to the ex-legislator, his competitors accused him of being involved in the murder of slain IEBC manager Chris Msando, a move that affected his bid.
