Mr Mwau has faulted the IEBC for publishing a gazette notice on September 5 regarding the October 26 repeat presidential poll which he said violates the law. GAZETTE NOTICEThe said gazette notice is the one which indicated that only President Kenyatta and Mr Raila Odinga will contest in the repeat presidential election. Mr Mwau said he wants the High Court to determine whether fresh elections can be held without nominations. He also wants a determination on whether fresh elections can legitimately be held based on a nomination (whose subsequent election) has been nullified.
