Kwale governor Fatuma Achani has welcomed the Mombasa High Court ruling to uphold her win in the August 9, 2022, general election. On Thursday, the court struck out a petition filed against Achani's victory by two voters Suleiman Mwanguku and Dziwe Zuma. The petitioners accused Achani of rigging the election and faulted IEBC for failing to conduct proper elections as per the constitution. Speaking at her residential home in the Matuga sub-county where she was joined by supporters and family members to celebrate her victory, Achani said she was optimistic that the truth will prevail. Achani who could not hide her happiness said that the court's decision is enough proof that Kwale residents elected her legitimately.
