Mr Justice Enoch Chacha Mwita on Friday set aside the Tribunal's judgement that had barred ODM from presenting Mr Rasanga's name to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission. Justice Mwita argued that Tribunal "reached its decision to block the candidature of Mr Rasanga without tangible evidence". IRREGULARITIESInstead, the judge directed ODM to submit the name of Mr Rasanga, who is the current governor, for inclusion in the list of candidates lined up for the August 8 elections. "The petitioners just made generalised and wild allegations of voter bribery besides other electoral malpractices," the judge ruled. REPEAT NOMINATIONThe judge allowed the appeal lodged by Mr Rasanga saying it is valid.
