Speaking after supreme Court’s ruling, Wambora invited his petitioner, the former Embu Senator to work with him for the next remaining three years.
“I ask my opponent Lenny Kivuti to work with us for the next three years. I will invite him for the leaders’ summit next month,”he remarked.
This is just another time the Embu governor was surviving an election petition, after surviving the High Court’s ruling before Lenny Kivuti moved to appex Court.
Other than election petitions, the governor has been facing graft charges. This even made his MCAs threaten to impeach him, but he again survived.
This Embu Governor Martin Wambora is a man of 9 lives. From Impeachments to election petitions, the guy has survived all. A real success of devolution for him in his two terms.
