In the petition, Thirdway Alliance wants the court to issue conservatory orders restraining the assembly from vetting Ms Mwenda pending the hearing and determination of their petition.
“The move to proceed with the vetting of Kananu is aimed at ensuring that the by-election slated for February 18, 2021 does not take place so that she can subsequently and through the backdoor be sworn in to take up the role of the Governor of Nairobi County,” read the petition in part.
“An order of injunction should be issued to Anne Kananu to restrain her from participating in her vetting, approval or in any other manner proceeding with the process whose end result would be to have her sworn in as the deputy governor or substantive Governor of Nairobi County,” added the petition.
