Updated Tuesday, January 19th 2016 at 16:16 GMT +3Nairobi, Kenya: IEBC Tuesday afternoon ruled that it will not expunge Bungoma Senator Moses Wetangula's name from the voters register.
In their ruling the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission noted that there was no justification to strike out Wetangula's name from the voters register.
Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) had formed a committee to accord Bungoma Senator Wetangula an opportunity to show cause why he should not be deregistered as a voter.
The five member committee comprised of Thomas Letangule (Chairperson), Lilian Mahiri-Zaja (member), Mohamed Alawi (member), Crispin Owiye (secretary) and Moses Kipkogei acting as the assisting Counsel.
CORD politicians expressed solidarity with the Bungoma senator and sat with him throughout the ruling at the Milimani law courts.
Senator Moses Wetangula thanked members of the committee for delivering a fair ruling, he also thanked his CORD co-principles for standing with him during the trying times.
