In the ruling, delivered on Friday, May 15, the court affirmed Ndakwa’s election, which had been contested by his closest rival, Seth Panyako, who had sought to nullify the outcome of the November 27, 2025, by-election.

Presiding Judge Stephen Mbugi ruled that the petition lacked merit, thereby confirming Ndakwa’s election as the duly elected Member of Parliament for the Malava constituency.
