Kenya's Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission deferred its scheduled judgment in the electoral code case against Kipipiri Member of Parliament Wanjiku Muhia. The commission's Electoral Code of Conduct Enforcement Committee had been set to rule on whether Muhia violated conduct rules through remarks made at a political campaign rally in Ol Kalou Constituency.
The case centers on alleged breaches of regulations governing political conduct during electoral activities.
During proceedings, Muhia's legal team staged a walkout after filing a preliminary objection that challenged the legality and constitution of the enforcement committee. The IEBC dismissed the objection, ruling that the committee was properly constituted and empowered under the law to enforce the code. Muhia's lawyers said they would take the matter to the High Court.
The anticipated judgment would determine whether the MP violated the Electoral Code of Conduct and whether sanctions or penalties apply.
