The applicant’s complaint is that he was denied the right to contest the Ndithini/Mananja Ward in Masinga Constituency on a Kenya National Congress Party on account of the 1st respondent being given a direct ticket. He claims he complied with all party regulations entitling him to contest the seat.

3. The applicant lodged a complaint before the IEBC Tribunal which heard the matter and dismissed it.

4. We are satisfied that the applicant was given a fair hearing at the Tribunal and that the IEBC came to the conclusion it was entitled to. In the circumstances, we find no ground to intervene.
