Busia High Court Judge Kiarie Waweru yesterday upheld Governor Sospeter Ojaamong’s election. In his one-hour ruling, the judge said the governor was validly declared the winner and the petitioner failed to prove his case. Former Funyula MP Paul Otuoma, who lost Ojaamong in the August 8 election, conceded defeat moments after the ruling. Petitioner Peter Odima was ordered to pay Sh12 million in costs. Business came to a standstill in Busia as hundreds of Ojaamong’s supporters took to the streets to celebrate Ojaamong’s victory.
