Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua's greatest political rival Wavinya Ndeti has finally broken her silence just hours after losing a petition case at the Supreme Court on Friday.
In a series of tweets, Ndeti thanked her legal team and followers for their unending support.
She, however, maintained that Mutua was not validly elected.
Ndeti said she will respect the ruling.
"While I respect the Supreme Court's decision, I maintain that my opponent was not validly elected and he has continued to force himself on the people of Machakos," Ndeti said. https://twitter.com/Wavinya_Ndeti/status/1076028653438414849.
The vocal politician now banks on the Machakos Speaker Florence Mwangangi, whom she says has a bigger role in uniting the residents while ensuring that the executive delivers its mandate within the provisions of the Constitution.
"Through patriotism & diligence, I urge Machakos Assembly under the able leadership of Speaker Florence Mwangangi to unite and ensure that the people of Machakos are able to benefit from DEVOLUTION by getting quality services and being able to take part in decision-making processes," she added. https://twitter.com/Wavinya_Ndeti/status/1076029799217414145
Going by the Supreme Court's ruling, it now means that Mutua remains the legitimate Machakos County governor.
