Court of Appeal Upholds Gachagua’s Election as DP

The Court of Appeal has dismissed a petition seeking to nullify the election of Rigathi Gachagua as Deputy President. A three-judge bench upheld the High Court’s earlier decision, ruling that the petitions filed by former Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu and others lacked merit. The judges found no evidence to support claims of voter intimidation, violence, or electoral irregularities that would have affected the final outcome. The ruling solidifies Gachagua’s position, bringing to a close the legal challenges to his election.
