Facts
Peninah Nandako Kiliswa filed an application before the Disputes Resolution Committee (IEBC) alleging that Ford Kenya’s Gender Top Up list contained names of persons who were not members of the party. She also complained that the Interested Party, Edith Were Shitandi, was not on the original list submitted to the Respondent. The Respondent dismissed the complaint on the ground that no evidence had been adduced to prove the allegations.
Issues
- Respondent did not give written reasons for its decision
- Respondent failed to consider the evidence placed before it by the Applicant
Reasoning
The composition of party lists and the ranking of the names in such lists is an internal matter to be dealt with by the political parties. The Respondent arrived at its decision after considering the evidence before it and gave its reasons for reaching that decision.
Outcome
Application dismissed with no order as to costs
