UDA's Kamau Thumbi (L) battled it out for the Muguga Ward by-election with Jubilee's Githinji Mung'ara (R), who won the contest. [Standard]United Democratic Alliance (UDA) officials say they will move to court to challenge Jubilee Party’s victory in the July 15 Muguga Ward by-election. UDA candidate Peter Kamau Thumbi, who got 4,062 votes, lost to Joseph Mung’ara Githinji by 27 votes. Given the slim victory margin, reconsideration of the rejected votes would have a significant impact on the final tally. And, we believe if a recount is conducted, factoring in the so-called rejected votes, our candidate will carry the day,” said Gacheru.
