By JOSEPH WANGUIMore by this AuthorThe High Court in Kerugoya has dismissed a petition filed by Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua challenging the election of Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru. Lady Justice Lucy Gitari termed the petition as fatally defective, hopeless and incurable after finding that Ms Karua failed to comply with Election (Parliamentary and County) Petition Rules 2017. The court found that Ms Karua omitted the disputed election results and dates declared by IEBC, which is a mandatory requirement. The court said Ms Karua's failure to comply with the election petition rules had consequences and was in violation of rights to fair trial. Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru, her Deputy Peter Ndambiri and their supporters celebrate outside Kerugoya Law Courts after the High Court dismissed a petition by Ms Martha Karua challenging their victory.
