Supreme Court upholds Mary Wambui’s election as Othaya MP
The Supreme Court has upheld the election of Mary Wambui as Othaya MP after judges ruled that the petition against her was time barred.
The mini poll was suspended last week by the same court, pending the hearing and determination of an appeal filed by area MP Mary Wambui.
Wambui wanted the court to overturn the Court of Appeal decision which nullified her election on February 13.
Last week, Wambui got a lifeline after the Supreme Court temporarily suspended the nullification of her election pending the determination of her appeal.
Her lawyer Cecil Miller told the Supreme Court that the petition filed by Peter King'ara at the High Court in Nyeri was out of time and should not have been heard.
