Facts

The plaintiffs, who are members of KIFWA Mombasa, filed a plaint seeking a declaration that elections held on 27th January 2009 were null and void, and an order for proper and valid elections.

The defendants argued that the elections were valid and that the plaintiffs were not entitled to the relief.
