Livondo files petition blocking DP Ruto from vying in 2022

Stanley Livondo has filed a petition before the court seeking to bar DP William Ruto from vying for the presidency.

According to Livondo, he is arguing that when articles 148,131 and 130 are combined then the President and DP are one thing.

Also included in the list are Cabinet Secretaries who are nominated by the President meaning they are one unit too.

• William Ruto accuses ODM of using BBI for 2022 elections
• Junet Mohamed mocks DP Ruto as Kibra decides

Once the President completes his two terms in August 2022, the petitioner says that should also mark the end to the DP and hence should be barred from vying.

In addition to that, Cabinet Secretaries who have served before will be barred from serving in the executive as stipulated in the petition.
