Kisii governor county James Ongwae on Thursday told the High Court that he won the August 8 elections fairly and with a big margin.

Ongwae said a few transpositional errors of results in forms 37A and 37B will not change the final outcome. He urged the court to dismissthe petition against his victory. The petition was filed by voter Joel Makori.

On Tuesday, Ongwae got a slight reprieve after Justice Hellen Omondi dismissed one of the two petitions filed against him by Mr Lumumba Nyaberi on the grounds that the petition was defective.

Ongwae is serving his second term, having won with 206,164 votes. Obure had  100,760 votes.
