Governor Mwangi wa Iria has all the reasons to smile after the High Court this evening ruled that His win was legitimate.
The case had been filed by Kigumo Mp Hon Jamleck Kamau and his supporters challenging The Jubilee party primaries outcomes.
Kamau has argued that the ruling party used IEBC register contrary to Political parties guidelines citing cases of multiple voting as evidence.
Kamau carried the day at Milimani law courts after the judge ruled on his favour but Wa Iria and Jubilee lawyers rushed to high court where the appealed.
The following day however Kamau shocked many of his supporters when he declared that his would not participate in a repeat Nominations saying that he knew he would be rigged out.
This however did not prevent him through his lawyer, to plead with the high Court to reject Wa Iria's appeal and that of the new evidence that was brought before the Court on the register.
This moved pegged the question "Why did Kamau sue the Jubilee party and Wa Iria if indeed he would not participate in a repeat of nominations"? To play victim? To confuse the party not to concentrate on the case so that in future a resident would challenge Wa Iria's win In a court of law creating a loophole for a by elections?
The game, hullabaloo and the legal tussle has come to an end this evening after the High Court has overturned the ruling by Political Parties Dispute Tribunal ordering the Jubilee Party to conduct fresh nominations for the Governorship in Murang'a County.
In the verdict, the court has held that Governor Mwangi Wa Iria's victory was valid as the exercise was freely and fairly done.
All eyes are now looking and waiting for Kamau's next move as he has become a man of many surprises.
Will he hold a presser and announce whether or not he is satisfied on the Court verdict? Now that Wa Iria's win has been legitimized by a Court of law, will he join the Muranga Jubilee Nominees and campaign together as is expected? Only time will tell.
