Holding
The petition is dismissed with no order as to costs
Facts
The petitioner claims that the 3rd respondent, John Lokato Todopus, maliciously submitted his name for consideration under the marginalised list for ODM West Pokot County, despite not falling in the special category. The IEBC called for a fresh list, which was received by the 1st respondent on 2nd March 2013, and in which the 2nd respondent, Eliz Chelakam Lotam, appeared as number one and the petitioner as number three.
Issues
- Validity of the initial list submitted by the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) to the IEBC
- Malicious submission of the 3rd respondent's name under the marginalised list
Reasoning
The court declines to interfere with the IEBC Dispute Resolution Committee's decision as the matter of who gets on the list is a matter for the party, and the IEBC acted on the list submitted by ODM after calling for a fresh list.
Outcome
Petition dismissed
