The High Court has dismissed a petition challenging Kamukunji MP Yusuf Hassan's election on August 8. The politician filed the petition on September 7 saying the election process was not lawful and that IEBC committed many irregularities. Kimaru noted on Friday that Ahmed did not deposit Sh500,000 for security costs within the stipulated period. "Failure by the petitioner to deposit security of costs, within 10 days after filing the suit, renders the petition incompetent," he said. Kimaru agreed with IEBC and Hassan's defence team, saying the failure rendered the petition "fatally defective".
