Holding

The Tribunal finds that the Respondent did not contravene any law in compiling the party list and that the Claimant has not demonstrated that the manner in which the list was prepared contravened the law.

Facts

Grace Muthoni Lenolkirna, a member of the Jubilee Party, applied for nomination to the Samburu County Assembly but was not included in the party list. She claims she was excluded unfairly and that other less qualified individuals were included.

Reasoning
