Machakos Governor Alfred Mutua has expressed dissatisfaction with the Court of Appeal's Friday decision to annul his August 8, 2017's re-election.
Speaking after the judgment in Nairobi, the county chief cried foul, claiming that the case which pitted him against his biggest rival in the race and former Kathiani MP Wavinya Ndeti was poorly handled.
He vowed to take the case to the highest court of the land, the Supreme Court, in pursuit of a positive outcome.
"The Court of Appeal misunderstood the case and made factual errors but we will move ahead and take it to the Supreme Court," Mutua said.
Mutua further maintained that the blow will not deter his presidential ambition, saying that he will stick to his plan and will be in the 2022 race for the top slot.
"This will not stop our plans. I will still be on the presidential ballot come 2022 and will be the fifth President of Kenya. This is just a hurdle and we will overcome it," the confident leader told the media.
The Maendeleo Chapchap Party leader defended his seat on the party's ticket, with Ndeti vying as a Wiper Democratic Movement (WDM) party candidate.
He is likely to vie for the slot on the same ticket.
