Blow To Nandi Hills MP Alfred Keter As UDA Nullifies His Win Citing Malpractice.
The United Democratic Alliance party Electoral and Nominations Dispute Resolution Committee has nullified Nandi Hills parliamentary nominations results.
The incumbent MP Alfred Keter was declared the winner of the primaries held on Tuesday after garnering 10,363 votes against his closest challenger Bernard Kitur who got 7,468 votes.
Other in the race inlcude Robert Chepkwony who got 2,539 votes, George Tarus 425 votes, Abraham Limo 540 and Irine Chemutai 388.
Kitur appealed the results of the nomination at the dispute committee where he raised a number of issues to prove the exercise was marred with malpractices.
In the petition, Keter was the first respondent while the National Elections Board was the second respondent.
Kitur told the committee that there were ballot stuffing incidences and delays in the transmission of results, something that the committee concurred with.
Committee members namely Collins Kiprono, Mary Mungai and Adrian Kamotho Njenga also agreed with Kitur that there were insufficient ballot papers in some polling stations which denied a majority of residents a right to participate in the exercise.
