Nyamira governor John Nyagarama Obiero is set to know his fate today as the Supreme Court gives ruling on an appeal filed by Walter Nyambati who was the runners-up in the gubernatorial race in August last year.
Nyambati through his lawyer is appealing against a ruling by the Court of Appeal in Kisumu that upheld Nyagarama's win.
The appellant had sighted irregularities in voter scrutiny and voter bribery which the court deemed insufficient to invalidate the election.
Nyambati has also slapped a penalty of Sh3 million as the costs of the suit by the Court of Appeal.
This will be the third time Nyambati is attempting to overturn Nyagarama's victory having failed in both the High Court and the Court of Appeal.
The decision by the Supreme Court over the election will be final as it cannot be appealed.
