High Court dismisses petition by ex-Nominated Senator Gloria Orwoba challenging her expulsion from UDA.

High Court dismisses petition by ex-nominated senator Gloria Orwoba challenging her expulsion from UDA, directs her to the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal where she filed a similar suit.

The High Court declined to hear her petition challenging her ouster from the ruling party, the United Democratic Alliance Party.

In May, the former-nominated senator took the ruling party to court, advocating to retain her seat in the senate and her membership in the party after the party initiated disciplinary proceedings against her for allegedly shifting allegiance to another political movement.

While delivering the ruling, Justice Lawrence Mugambi ruled that the court lacked jurisdiction to entertain the case while a similar dispute was already pending before the PPDT.

According to Justice Mugambi, it was a violation of court process for Orwoba to have two parallel proceedings on the same issues.
