They say once beaten twice shy but this advice is hardly taken by warriors who don’t know defeat in battle. After the previous elections many are still fighting to prove victorious despite the election results that were presented back then.
Embu Governor Martin Wambora has survived once again in the power seat war clenching his win with pride after the tedious war.
Supreme Court has upheld the election of Embu Governor Martin Wambora. Court dismissed the petition filed by former senator Lenny Kivuti for lack of merit.
The election of Mr Wambora had been nullified by Justice William Musyoka in February last year, saying the vote recount and scrutiny had unearthed various irregularities that compromised the integrity of the process.
But the governor moved to the Court of Appeal and Justices William Ouko, Daniel Musinga, and Fatuma Sichale said the burden of proof was not discharged by former Senator Lenny Kivuti.
The three judges overturned the decision, ruling the High Court erred in invalidating Mr Wambora’s election.
Not satisfied, Mr Kivuti moved to the Supreme Court seeking to overturn the decision.
Many have taken to twitter to salute Wambora for his brilliant and long success.
It’s time Embu Governor Martin Wambora is allowed to work. He must be the most distressed Governor …. For the last Six Years, he has been in Court & Senate fighting with MCAs, Lenny Kivuti, Senators & EACC. Embu people deserve a break now.#BillyNaTricky @McaTricky
