Kidero Makes a U-turn after Conceding Defeat to Mike Sonko, Now Says There Were Massive Irregularities
Former Nairobi Governor Evans Kidero has made a roundabout on Mike Sonko's August 8th Nairobi gubernatorial seat victory victory.
Kidero now claims that over 60 percent of Forms 37A used to announce Mike Sonko as the winner of Nairobi gubernatorial seat in the August 8th election had irregularities.
In papers filed in the high court through his lawyer Tom Ojienda, Kidero says that election forms used to declare Sonko contained multiple anomalies, others did not have polling station tallies while other lacked security features, “with all the inconsistencies affecting more than 308,918 votes”.
In a sworn affidavit, the former County boss says that 798 of the 1,300 Forms 37As werd not signed by party agents and presiding officers, while some had varied dates and others were not stamped.
In an application filed on Friday, Kidero seeks to be enjoined as an interested party in a petition lodged by Japhet Muroko challenging Sonko’s victory.
In the application, Dr Kidero documents the stations where irregularities were allegedly committed, their code, stream, constituency and number of votes affected. He argues that the votes affected are enough to change the outcome of the election.
Sonko was announced the winner after garnering 869,050 votes against Dr Kidero’s 695,770.
“This represents 25,462 votes. The most affected constituencies were Roysambu, Embakasi North and Dagoretti South,” he said in the application.
He also claim that 211 Forms 37A affecting over 90,090 votes were not signed by presiding officers, while 12 forms had varied dates of signing touching 5,725 votes.
“How could one polling station have the same Forms 37A with different dates? This clearly shows that the results on forms used to declare the election outcome were cooked,” he said.
Kidero had earlier conceded defeat to Sonko and even attended the Swearing In Ceremony to hand over power to the former Nairobi senator.

Only in Kenya do these kinds of U-turns happen especially when one realizes their only bread and butter is gone and start engaging themselves in self destruction which then turns into downward spiral. It's amazing they can still look people in the eye and ask for votes in five years. What happened to self pride? But then that evaporates on an empty stomach. Kidero please go home for you have nothing to show Nairobians after five years. Please believe they actually threw you out.

maxiley, Kenyan is still a third world country. It cannot afford the luxury you suggest of re-doing election all over again. Besides cost, the country's institutions are obviously not strong enough to cushion another phase of irresponsible politicking... the presidential alone election is already causing jitters. As for dishonest losers, they will never accept defeat even if Jesus presides over the elections!

Ben,you have had it said that,on garnering independence,kenya was on the same level of development as singapore,thailand, and the koreas.
30yrs ago,china was virtually a thirdworld country,look at china now.
my question to you is,do we have the "brains'to shift gears in to 2nd,then first,and how come it hAS NOT HAPPENED.Dont we want good standard of living for all kenyans?is leadership the problem?then lets put in capable leaders...
we dont have to take same length of period to be first world.in fact we should take a shorter time since we do not have to re invent the wheel.where do i go wrong?
