High Court Revokes Degree Requirement for Governors CapitalFMKenya: Kenya

In his ruling, Justice Anthony Mrima ruled that section 22 of the Election Act which requires gubernatorial aspirants to have a degree before being cleared to vie contravenes Article 180 of the constitution.

Currently, according to the Elections Act for one to be eligible to vie for the seat of the Members of the County Assembly you only require a KCSE certificate. "A declaration hereby issues that section 22 of the Election Act contravenes Article 180 of the constitution by creating an avenue for differentiation between the eligibility requirement of a governor and member of county assembly hence to that extent its unconstitutional," he stated.
