Mariga faces a new petition, hours after IEBC cleared him

Reports by Citizen Digital indicated that  one Morris Peter Kinyanjui filled a petition, before the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal, challenging the ex-Harambee Stars player’s nomination by the Jubilee Party.

Kinyanjui, who sued Mariga and the Jubilee Party Elections Board, also named the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) as a respondent.

Kinyanjui is among the 16 nominees who had sought the Jubilee ticket for the Kibra by-election.

He argued that the nomination exercise was not conducted in adherence to the party’s constitution and the laid down regulations.
