Mandera County gubernatorial loser Hassan Noor has filed a petition contesting Ali Roba’s win.
He stated that in most polling centers his agents were chased away and even beaten to a point where they needed medical attention.
He is the first governor to file a petition after Raila Odinga’s successful petition at the Supreme court.
The Mandera Governor seat was a hotly contested seat with it being a two horse race.
The candidates’ supporters often clashed during rallies as both leaders were in support of President Uhuru Kenyatta’s bid.
