By MAUREEN KAKAHMore by this AuthorA Presidential aspirant who was arrested and charged with attempted suicide has now sued the electoral agency seeking to be allowed to submit signatures of people who nominated him to vie. “There is an extremely urgent need to rein on IEBC before any ballot paper for the Presidential elections are printed,” said Mr Gichira. And Justice George Odunga had on May 26 ruled that the requirement was indeed unlawful and stopped the IEBC from rejecting his lists using it. He alleged that IEBC rejected his nomination signatures yet he had a legitimate expectation that he would be cleared and given a green light to vie. I was prevented from seeking an audience with the officers of the IEBC and was not accorded a hearing,” Mr Gichira said.
