Karungo Wa Thang’wa, UDA’s Kiambu Senatorial candidate, on Sunday, June 19 was disqualified from running in the August 9 election.
According to the IEBC Disputes Tribunal, Karungo had been removed from office through impeachment and would thus be barred from ever holding public office again.
The tribunal rejected the Senate aspirant’s claim that he resigned before his impeachment and upheld the Kiambu Returning Officer’s decision not to clear the politician.
