Aloise Kinyanjui in Court to Challenge Juja Parliamentary Results

Juja MP candidate Aloise Kinyanjui has filed a petition challenging the election of George Koimburi Ndung'u.

Kinyanjui, who contested on a Jubilee Party ticket, filed the case at the High Court in Kiambu which has since summoned the MP-elect to appear within 15 days.

“Service of summons to enter appearance upon you (George Ndung'u) has been ordered by means of this advertisement. Copies of the summons, petition, supporting affidavit, list of witnesses, list of documents, witness affidavits and annexures may be obtained from the civil registry of the High Court Kiambu,” read the summon.

“Take further notice, that unless you enter appearance within (15) days from the date of this advertisement the court shall make further orders as it deems fit and just.”

Kinyanjui has also listed Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and Juja Returning Officer as respondents in the petition.

Koimburi, who vied under the UDA party, successfully defended his Juja parliamentary seat by garnering 39,413 votes ahead of Kinyanjui’s 30,799 votes.

Kinyanjui, a younger brother of former Gatundu South MP Moses Kuria, has disputed the results on grounds of illegalities and irregularities.
