The decree comes after two people moved to the tribunal to challenge the appointment of the county elections board by the Judy Pareno-led National Elections Board (NEB). Under Section 40 of the Political Parties Act 2011, the tribunal is mandated to adjudicate on disputes between members of political parties. The two sought an immediate injunction to stop the nominations that had been slated for April 24, demanding that the NEB reconstitutes the Kisumu County Elections Board. Making him a member of the elections board will automatically compromise his neutrality, Mr Opiyo and Mr Oketch told the tribunal.
