The Political Parties Dispute Tribunal has declared as null and void the nomination of ODM chairman John Mbadi as Suba MP. On Friday, the tribunal ordered that the party repeats nominations in seven polling stations at the constituency within 72 hours. ODM had been barred from awarding the MP aspirant the nomination certificate following a complaint by aspirant Caroli Omondi. After losing the primaries after getting 11,597 votes against Mbadi's 12,365, Omondi alleged that there was massive rigging and filed a complaint with the tribunal on Monday. This was after the party ignored a directive from its own appeals tribunal that nullified the results.
