The Political Parties Dispute Tribunal has nullified the nomination of Westlands MP Tim Wanyonyi. This is after Michael Magero Gumo, the son of Veteran Politician, Fred Gumo moved to Court to challenge ODM’s decision to nominate him.
The Tribunal has further nullified the certificate issued to Tim Wanyonyi. Magero, through Lawyer Duncan Okatch, argued that he won the party’s primaries and that Wanyonyi did not take part in the exercise.
ODM has been directed to conduct fresh nominations within 72 hours.One week ago, Magero sued the Orange Democratic Movement party’s National Elections Board seeking to stop the party from forwarding Wanyonyi’s name to the IEBC.

His lawyer Okatch stated that he won the party primaries garnering 1,661 votes while his closest contender former City Clerk Phillip Kisia garnered 627 votes.
He claims that he spent millions of shillings to marshal support for his bid in the Westlands Constituency and should therefore be handed the party’s ticket.
“I spent a lot of resources and time to marshal support for my bid. The results were publicly announced thus giving me the legitimate expectation that I would be issued with the certificate,” Magero argued.
