Isaac Mwaura loses his nominated senator seat. Mwaura was axed from the Senate after a protracted tussle with Jubilee Party; Speaker Lusaka gazetted the vacancy on Tuesday through party list.
Senate Speaker Ken Lusaka declared the seat held by nominated Senator Isaac Mwaura vacant following a decision by Jubilee Party to expel him after he was accused of campaigning for a candidate of a different political party.
Mwaura had suffered a major setback after the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal endorsed a decision by the Jubilee Party to expel him on the grounds of disloyalty and pledging allegiance to another outfit.
“It is notified for the information of the public that pursuant to Article103 (1) (e) (i) of the Constitution and section 37 of the Elections Act, the seat of the Member of the Senate elected under Article 98 (1) (d) of the Constitution and held by Hon.
