The nullification of Embu Governor Martin Wambora's victory in the August 8 General election has sparked mixed reactions online.
While nullifying Wambora's win, Embu High Court Judge William Musyoka said the August polls were marred with irregularities.
The petition was filed by Ex-Senator Lenny Kivuti who vied on a Wiper party ticket.
Following the ruling, a section of Twitter users celebrated Kivuti's win while others expressed disappointment following Wambora's loss.
Below are some mixed reactions from KoT:
@Bob_Odhiambo: Embu Governor Martin Wambora has failed to defend his seat not because he didn't win fairly but because he had a weak defense team. @ahmednasirlaw failed Martin Wambora the same way he failed IEBC. He's now throwing tantrums on Twitter @Asamoh_
@OtienoMfalme: Embu Governor Martin Wambora election has been nullified, Homabay Governor Cyprian Awiti election was nullified, are the courts trying to balance some equation here so that they can be seen not to be against NASA or Jubilee
@kennedygoodboy: Again Embu Governor Martin wambora is out of office. A person with nine hearts.
@AlexMutho: Am worried how the IEBC cconducted the Aug elections. A lot of irregularities. Wambora has 9 lives like a cat, he has survived most impeachments.
@GYMY: No amount of witch-hunt or ill will can befall one Embu Governor Martin Wambora . He's a cat which has proved to have more than nine lives.
@Justinkinyua254: Lenny Kivuti For Governor Embu County.... Martin Wambora now the Third Governor to loose his seat as he looks forward to appeal the ruling.
@keyboysteve: In the case of Embu Governor Wambora LennyKivuti had a point
@CylusOriao: He has escaped it by a whisker in several occasions . This time Martin Wambora is going home..Lenny Kivuti alone is a big force..Leave alone the powerful forces behind him!
