MP faces fresh ouster bid in rival’s petitionGatundu North MP Anne Kibe Wanjiku. [Photo: Standard]Gatundu North MP Anne Wanjiku Kibe, whose election was validated by the Supreme Court last year, is facing a fresh challenge.A new application filed at the High Court by her rival, Clement Kung’u Waibara, wants the court to declare the seat vacant. Mr Waibara, a former MP, claimed that Kibe did not qualify to vie for the seat since she had not resigned as a nominated MCA at the time of the polls. He is also petitioning the court to grant an order requiring IEBC to hold a by-election for the position of MP in Gatundu North. Kibe went to the Court of Appeal and in July 2018 the judges ruled in her favour, declaring the election fair.
