Supporters were in jubilation after youthful politician Babu Owino, real name Paul Ongili, reclaimed his Embakasi East MP seat as the Supreme Court upheld the Court of Appeal decision that he was validly elected.
While reading the judgment on Friday, justice Isaac Lenaola noted that the Court of Appeal did no err in overturning the High Court decision that the MP was not validly elected.
Justice Lenaola further cited the issue of violence at Soweto Social Hall during the August 8, 2017 general election.
“That fact alone could not render the election invalid,” he said.
Soon after, the mwanachi have decided to launch thier own petitions to the MP while congratulating him with most raising education pleas.
