Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru through a twitter post on Tuesday, May 24 said she would file a complaint with the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission against one of her main rivals for allegedly sabotaging her campaign efforts.
Waiguru who is defending her current seat on a United Democratic Alliance (UDA) party ticket, claims that the unnamed rival deliberately damaged her campaign posters in many parts of Kirinyaga County, and so should be banned from competing in the August polls.
“Today I will be lodging an official complaint to the IEBC through my lawyers to bar my opponent from running for electoral office for destroying my campaign material, contrary to the Elections Act 2016 and Elections Conduct,” said the incumbent governor.
She also posted photographs of her campaign posters lying in a ditch, and another turned into a make-shift cover for a motorcycle shed.
Governor Waiguru’s opponents for the gubernatorial post include: Charles Kibiru (Jubilee), Wangui Ngirici (Independent), Muriithi Kagai (Narc Kenya) and Peter Gitau (Safina).
