[Photo: NMG]The application by former Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero to be enjoined in a petition challenging the election of current Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko, will be heard on November 13.This was directed by High Court judge Msagha Mbogholi on Thursday saying the main petition will be heard on November 28, 29 and 30. The hearing will resume on December 4, the Star reports. Sonko has, however, opposed Kidero's application saying his predecessor's claims cannot be supported by any evidence as he 'fairly' won the August 8 election.Kidero wants to be enjoined in the case, saying he has evidence to prove that more than 60 percent of Forms 37A used to declare Sonko the winner, contained irregularities.Kidero said some of the forms had multiple anomalies, others had no polling station tallies while others lacked security features. He said 798 of the 1,300 Forms 37A used to declare Sonko's victory, were not signed by the agents and presiding officers, adds the Star.Twenty-seven witnesses are lined up to testify in the case where Sonko will call two witnesses to defend his win while the IEBC will call 23. The other two will be called by petitioners Japheth Muroko and Zacchaeus Okoth.Last month, Sonko questioned Kidero’s sources of electoral data, saying he had quoted figures that were not contained in the forms. He has also dismissed claims that agents from other parties were barred from polling stations, the Nation reported.
