I assure you and by grace of God that I will be on the ballot come 8-8 2017," she said, during Gala Dinner held at 680 Hotel Nairobi.Wavinya was barred after the IEBC dispute tribunal found out that her Wiper nomination was irregular, for she a member of two parties during nomination."As at the time of the nomination of Ndeti, she was both a member of CCU and Wiper party which is against the law," said the panel.This is after a petition was filed challenging her eligibility, by some members of her CCU party.
