Petitions have been filed for 72 per cent of governor races and 26 per cent of woman representative contests, analysis by Nation Newsplex shows. The data contained in a gazette notice signed by Chief Justice David Maraga shows that only two of the 47 counties have been spared election petitions — Elgeyo-Marakwet and Nyandarua. However, at least three petitions or less were filed in 27 counties. Of the 288 petitions filed across the country, 227 (nearly four-fifths) were filed by losers challenging the election of MPs and MCAs. Other petitions challenging the election of governors were filed by voters who did not indicate their affiliation with political parties.
