The bid by Trans Nzoia governor Patrick Khaemba to stop the petition against him by former forestry minister Noah Wekesa was unsuccessful after the court set the case for a pretrial conference. The pre- trial conference is set for June 18. Wekesa is opposing Khaemba’s election as governor saying IEBC failed to conduct free and fair elections in the March 4 polls. Judge Joseph Karanja ordered Wekesa to pay the court Sh400, 000 as security fee for his case to continue.
