Kisii Governor James Ongwae is slightly off the hook in a case challenging his victory in the August 8 polls.

This comes in after IEBC Kisii county returning officer Sidney Namulungu told the High Court Judge Hellen Omondi that Ongwae won fairly in the August elections.

Namulungu who is the second respondent in the petition said that Omwanza Ombati – the advocate to the petitioner – did not attach any forms 37As which he referred to court.

Namulungu maintained that the election was fair because all the agents signed the forms during the tallying process.

He also noted that the petitioner never applied for forms 34Bs by Edward Begi who stood in for Omwanza during a pre-trial as claimed.
