In his witness testimony on November 28, 2017, Mr. Mureithi claimed that the election exercise was marred with violence, intimidation, voter bribery among other electoral malpractices.

The tally showed that Mr Owino garnered 46,817 votes against 42,501 votes garnered by his main rival, Jubilee's Francis Mureithi. The final vote recount tally was signed by High Court Deputy Registrars Esther Mburu and Mbayaki Wafula.

Speaking after the ruling, Mr. Owino blamed President Uhuru Kenyatta and Deputy President William Ruto for the loss stating that they had interfered with the Judiciary.

"The whole nation knows that this is a war of the President and Deputy President against Babu Owino. I have opposed them and now they are fighting back. The President is controlling the judiciary [sic],” Mr. Owino said.

Babu mentioned that he respects the ruling but will appeal the judge's decision at the Court of Appeal.
