The High Court has postponed to Monday the hearing of a petition seeking to stop the vetting and approval of President William Ruto's nominees for the positions of chairperson and commissioners of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
Justice Lawrence Mugambi adjourned the case after it emerged that one of the nominated commissioners, Fahima Araphat Abdallah, had not been served with a notice to appear in court.
However, the judge ordered the petitioners, Kelvin Roy Omondi and Boniface Mwangi, to serve all seven nominees, including the chairperson nominee, Ethekon Edung Thekon, afresh via advertisement in a nationwide newspaper before Monday.
Justice Mugambi also directed the petitioners, through their lawyer Paul Muite, to appear for the hearing of their application on May 19 at 10:30 a.m.
