High Court will tomorrow nullify Babu Owino’s election as Embakasi MP,Venas News has established. This is after several ballot papers were found missing from Industrial Area.
The new developments will be a shocker for Babu Owino who had earlier declared himself the winner. The former student leader had this to say on Facebook:
“Thanks to the Almighty God.The will of the people of Embakasi East is finally out. Results before recount.Babu Owino-46587.Francis Mureithi-42253.Results AFTER recount:Babu Owino 46813,Francis mureithi 42475.Thank you God the devil is ashamed”
But we have since discovered the high court will nullify the win and call for fresh elections in the constituency. What should be more worrying is the fact that Mureithi is a close ally of the President and has connections all over-he is also loaded.
In his Facebook page,Mureithi has confirmed that indeed Babu is treading on dangerous zones.Here is what he said in his recent Facebook post:
“We have ballot boxes missing from six polling stations and cannot be found, Form 35A missing for over 60 stations others have no IEBC stamps and Officials Signatures. It’s evident the process was not conducted as per the rules. Final tally for 201 polling stations of 207 are as follows;
Francis mureithi 47,582
Babu Owino 46,813
WE NOW AWAIT THE FINAL COURT JUDGEMENT AFTER THE FINDINGS ARE TAKEN BACK TO COURT. GOD ANSWERS PRAYERS 🙏🏽. ASANTE YAHWEH”
In case the elections are nullified,Babu may find it difficult to successfully defend the seat.
