A High Court in Rongo has nullified the nomination of 12 Members of County Assembly nominated by ODM Party to Migori County Assembly.
In his ruling, Justice Raymond Langat said the ODM party did not honor the directive given by the political parties’ tribunal that directed the party to harmonize the nomination list before submitting it to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
He has, however, upheld the nomination of the third respondent Philister Atieno who was nominated under disability.
The respondent through their lawyer Christopher Oyieko said they are not satisfied with the court decision saying that they are going to appeal the decision of the court.
The petition was filled by nine voters in Migori County who were challenging the criteria used in nominating the 13 MCAs to Migori county assembly by ODM party.
