Wajir governor Abdullahi Ahmed. [Photo/the-star.co.ke]A petitioner who had challenged the election of Wajir Governor Mohammed Abdi’s election has withdrawn his case.
He cited consultation with the community as the reason behind his decision.
Mr Adow Abikar, an anti-corruption activist and runners-up in the Wajir senatorial seat on a PDR ticket through his lawyer D N Gacugia, noted that he no longer wanted to participate in the petition against governor Abdi.
All the lawyers representing the former governor Abdullahi Ahmed, IEBC objected the withdrawal of the case.
Abikar claimed that after consulting with his community members he had decided to give room for the elected governor to concentrate on working for the people of Wajir.
"We need to give Governor Mohammed Abdi ample space and time to deliver to the people of Wajir County and other aspirants should come to terms losing elections because the people spoke,” added Abikar.
