Former Mungiki leader Maina Njenga has moved to Court, and filed an application against Jubilee party and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
This is after the president Uhuru Kenyatta-led party declined Njenga’s nomination documents, as he sought to vie for the Laikipia senatorial race through a Jubilee ticket.
According to him, Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto were the ones behind rejection of his papers, denying him democracy.
In the application filed, Monday, Njenga demanded the rejection declared null and void, and be allowed to vie for the seat, to fulfill his political ambitions.
According to the Star, the former Mungiki leader swore an affidavit, through lawyer Evans Ondieki, saying he no longer associated with the gang.
“Njenga also said he was duly registered as a Jubilee member and had paid the requisite Sh250,000 fee for registration and nomination,’’ said the newspaper, Monday.
