Former Samburu Senator Sammy Leshore has been gazetted as Isaac Mwaura’s replacement in the Senate.
In a gazette notice by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission -IEBC, Leshore takes over as Jubilee Party’s nominated Senator.
“The deleted nominee stands disqualified as the member to the Senate representing persons with disabilities,” read part of the notice by Chairman Wafulka Chebukati.
This comes after Senator Mwaura was expelled from the party on grounds of disloyalty, a move sealed by Speaker Kenneth Lusaka.
On Tuesday, May 11, Mwaura obtained a court order barring implementation of his removal until his petition is determined.
The court set May 24 as inter-partes hearing date.
