By SAM KIPLAGATMore by this AuthorThe Supreme Court has suspended plans to declare the Wajir Governor’s seat vacant, pending an appeal filed by Mr Mohamed Abdi. Governor Abdi went to the Supreme Court soon after three Court of Appeal judges upheld the decision to nullify his election on grounds that he did not meet the qualifications to contest the seat. Through lawyer Tom Macharia, Mr Abdi has faulted the decision and wants to be allowed to demonstrate why the two courts are wrong. Mr Macharia said there is imminent danger of the seat being declared vacant, rendering the intended appeal useless. They said Justice Alfred Mabeya, who nullified the election, correctly observed that Mr Abdi did not deny the allegation.
