By ABIUD OCHIENGMore by this AuthorFormer Muhoroni MP Ayiecho Olweny wants the Supreme Court to uphold the High Court decision which had nullified the nomination of the current MP James Onyango K'Oyoo during last year’s ODM party primaries, and ordered that he be issued with the nomination certificate. He argues that the Court of Appeal gave Mr K'Oyoo, undue advantage over him when they relied on a judgment allegedly rendered by the ODM’s National Appeals Tribunal (NAT), to overturn the High Court judgment issued in his favour. Curiously, the judgment was dated May 5, 2017 and was not signed by all adjudicators of the NAT,” Professor Olweny in court papers. Further that the court of appeal did not even interrogate the authenticity of the signatures that had allegedly been appended by the three NAT members. At the same time, the judge had convicted the chairperson of the ODM elections board Judith Pareno for contempt after failing to tabulate the results for five wards during the party primaries.
