The High Court has cleared Mike Sonko to vie for the Mombasa gubernatorial seat in the August 9 polls.
According to the ruling issued on Wednesday, July 13, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) was unreasonable in refusing to accept certified copies of Sonko’s academic papers.
The court also ordered the electoral agency to gazette the Wiper party candidate.
The court also found that the Wafula Chebukati-led commission acted unreasonably by disqualifying the former Nairobi Governor.
“They violated the Constitution and rushed with the announcement,” the court ruled.
IEBC has requested to lodge an appeal against the judgement.
