Holding
The Claimant's application dated 25th July 2017 is hereby dismissed.
Facts
The Claimant applied for nomination under the Jubilee party for the position of Member of County Assembly in Nandi County under the Gender Top Up category. However, her name was omitted from the final list published by the Independent Electoral Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and replaced with a 'Jane Jepkoech' who applied under the Persons Living with Disability Category.
Issues
- Whether the omission of the Claimant's name from the final list was justified by the Respondent's discretion in nominating candidates.
- Whether the Claimant's application for nomination was a guarantee of nomination.
Reasoning
The Tribunal finds that the Respondent's discretion in nominating candidates is valid and that the Claimant's application was not a guarantee of nomination. The restrictive timelines for filing and resolution of disputes by IEBC were taken into account.
Outcome
Appeal dismissed
Orders
- The Claimant's application dated 25th July 2017 is hereby dismissed.
- No orders as to costs.
