Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua has filed a petition at the Kerugoya High Court challenging Anne Waiguru's election as Kirinyaga Governor.

Through lawyer Gitobu Imanyara, Karua said the August 8 election was not free and fair.

In her petition, Karua alleges the forgery of the form 37A used to transmit results from polling centres to the county tallying centre.

She further claims unauthorised persons manned voting centres.

Karua said evidence in her possession shows a count of 58,000 votes was illegally entered into IEBC's KIEMS to aid Waiguru's win.

Waiguru was declared the winner after garnering 159,606 votes against Karua's 120,341.
