An Eldoret court has set a new hearing and ruling date for constitutional petition challenging Sports Disputes Tribunal (STD) to bar candidates from participating at the National Olympic Committee of Kenya (NOC-K) elections.
Last Thursday, Joycelene Nyambura, Francis Paul, Mudibo and Kenya Table Tennis Association (KTTA) had to seek court injunction stopping the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and NOC- elections returning officer Muthee Gakuru from conducting the election of executives.
The petitioners also included NOC-K and the Sports Registrar alleging bias by accusing Sports Dispute Tribunal (SDT) for favouring federations aligned with the Francis Mutuku-led team.
Justice Nyakundi directed that parties be given time to argue historical facts in the case.
Lawyer Julia Kiget, who is representing NOC-K alongside William Arusei said they were ready for highlighting submissions on Thursday next week.
The Eldoret High Court judge Reuben Nyakundi set that the case will be heard on July 2 in a case that stopped NOC-K last Thursday for the second time stopping KTTA from participating, pending the hearing and determination.
Andrew Mudipo, who is contesting for the Secretary General position led KTTA was barred from vying over claims that the federation was not properly registered.
