Lagdera Member of Parliament Abdikadir Hussein Mohamed has appealed a high court decision that nullified his election.
He was accompanied by his lawyer Senior Counsel and Kisumu Senator Prof Tom Ojienda, and vowed to challenge the high court decision of nullifying his election.
The MP and his lawyer spoke to the media at the Supreme Court building, moments after filling their appeal and exuded confidence that the court of appeal will quash the high court decisions and uphold his victory.
Abdiqani Zeitun, a UDA candidate, filed a lawsuit alleging significant irregularities.
The recount was conducted at the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Warehouse in Nairobi’s Industrial District, where discrepancies were discovered.
Abdikadir, the first MP to lose his seat, has already been granted a stay of proceedings pending an appeal.
The MP proceeded to his Facebook page to pick holes into the judgement which he termed as ‘not Solomonic’.
“It’s not over yet. We are in control”
