After weeks of sleepless nights, Murang'a Gubernatorial candidate Dr. Moses Mwangi, his family and supporters can now afford a sleep and to an extent a long nap.
On 15th June this year (Thursday) Moses' Supporters kept their fingers crossed at Milimani's high Court relentlessly and eagerly awaiting the Judge's verdict after the Complainant Mr. Peter Gatawa appealed days after his case was dismissed by The Tribunal.
Gatawa has argued that Moses hopped from 3 political parties contrary to the Elections laws.
However the Judge ruled on Moses Mwangi's favour confirming the earlier judgment by the Tribunal.
The court observed that Gatawa did not table compelling evidence to substantiate his litany of accusations and ruled that he carry the burden of payments to Moses 3 lawyers
Upon hearing the verdict Mzalendo Saba Saba candidate's supporters were ecstatic evidenced by cheerfulness and conviviality almost forgetting they were in a Court of law and start dancing.
Wearing uncharacteristically jovial face, Moses lauded the Judicial system of Kenya for rulling on his favour saying that the Court was not swayed by Political innuendos.
"The ruling today shows that Judiciary is headed by men and women with able and sober minds and signifies that those who want to get the Gubernatorial seat through Courts are doomed to fail," Moses said.
Addressing the media after the ruling the Happy Mwangi rebuked his Opponent for sponsoring legal battles so as to gain the upper hand in Gubernatorial race.
He also accused his opponent, Governor Mwangi wa Iria for playing with his hands since he announced his candidature.
Asked what could have been triggered his win in round two, Moses said that it has been a journey that has been characterised with daily prayers from supporters and his family
He said that since the case was taken to Milimani Law Courts he chose to remain calm, collected and humble pleading with his supporters to ape him something he said contributed greatly in winning the case adding that it was not his but for the Murang'a people.
He exuded confidence that he would emerge victorious in the General elections which will take place in less than 50 days.
