The court has fined the petitioner Sh15 million to pay the accused and first respondent, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
Kelly Walubengo, who narrowly lost the seat to incumbent Dan Wanyama of the United Democratic Alliance (UDA), had filed a petition to challenge MP Wanyama’s victory.
Walubengo contested on Cyrus Jirongo’s United Democratic Party (UDP).
