Former Gatundu South Moses Kuria’s petition has been struck out by the Supreme Court of Kenya.

The ex-lawmaker together with former Mbeere South MP Geoffrey King’ang’i had filed a petition seeking the rejection of Raila Odinga’s presidential election petition on grounds that his agents caused chaos at the national tallying centre.

The move comes after the Raila-led Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition party asked the Supreme Court to throw out Kuria’s petition.

Azimio asks Supreme Court to throw out Kuria’s petition

On August 26, the Azimio One Kenya coalition wrote to the Supreme Court seeking the rejection of petitions filed by Moses Kuria and Reuben Kigame ahead of the hearing of the case challenging William Ruto’s election as the fifth president.

In their petition, Kuria and outgoing Mbeere South MP Geoffrey King’ang’i are seeking dismissal of the suit lodged by Raila and Karua over alleged election malpractices.

The two outgoing MPs claim that the Azimio party Chief Agents led by Saitabao Kanchory and others caused violence at the National tallying centre, Bomas of Kenya.

Kuria and King’ang’i also argue that Chebukati did not announce the results of the remaining 38 polling stations that had been verified after Azimo politicians attacked him (Chebukati).

On his part, Kigame, who was disqualified from contesting the 2022 presidential contest is also pushing for a declaration that the presidential nomination and clearance of Ruto, Odinga, George Wajackoya and Waihiga Mwaure was null and void. He is seeking a declaration that IEBC violated his rights.
