Owino had moved to the Court of Appeal to challenge the nullification of his election by Justice Joseph Sergon of the High Court on March 2 following a petition filed by his challenger, Jubilee Party\u2019s Francis Mureithi\/FILE<\/p><\/div>\n

NAIROBI, Kenya, Apr 23 \u2013 An appeal challenging the nullification of Embakasi East lawmaker Babu Owino\u2019s election is scheduled for hearing on Monday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Owino had moved to the Court of Appeal to challenge the nullification of his election by Justice Joseph Sergon of the High Court on March 2 following a petition filed by his challenger, Jubilee Party\u2019s Francis Mureithi.<\/p>\n

During a mention of the appeal on April 5, Justice Mohamed Warsame set April 23 as the hearing date of the matter.<\/p>\n

The appeal will be heard before a three-judge bench comprised of Justices Warsame, Kathurima M\u2019Inoti and Daniel Musinga.<\/p>\n

The election of Owino \u2013 a first-time lawmaker \u2013 during August 8, 2017, General Election had been invalidated by Justice Sergon after the court established that the poll was marred by irregularities.<\/p>\n

Owino who was elected on an Orange Democratic Movement party ticket was found to have intimidated the Embakasi East Returning Officer.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the Court of Appeal stationed at the Supreme Court building after April 5 mention, Owino said he had confidence in the Court of Appeal and the three-judge bench set to hear his matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have absolute confidence in this court. I would not wish to speak of Justice Sergon\u2019s ruling because that is behind us for now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am confident that my election will be upheld because I have no doubt the people of Embakasi East gave me the mandate to represent them at the National Assembly,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Babu\u2019s appeal is among fifty-six filed against the annulment of elections of Members of National Assembly by High Courts.<\/p>\n

So far, three appeals have been withdrawn at the Court of Appeal including one filed by former National Assembly Deputy Speaker Farah Maalim seeking the nullification of Garissa Township parliamentary election.<\/p>\n

Maalim had contested the dismissal of his election petition against National Assembly Majority leader Aden Duale by Justice Hedwig Ong\u2019undi insisting Duale\u2019s election was irregular.<\/p>\n

Maalim\u2019s was among 312 petitions dismissed in High Courts by March 6, 195 of them upon judgments and 117 upon rulings.<\/p>\n

A total of forty petitions before High Courts spread across the country had been allowed as at March 6.<\/p>\n

The 2017 General Election saw 388 petitions filed excluding presidential.<\/p>\n

The petitions included 35 challenging elections of governors, fifteen contesting senatorial elections, twelve against Women Representatives, 98 against Members of the National Assembly and 139 against Members of County Assembly.<\/p>\n

Eighty-nine party lists petitions were also filed, eighty of them at Magistrate Courts and nine at High Courts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
