Judge Muchelule's reasons....
"One of those was an incident where ODM leaders among them Siaya Senator James Orengo invaded Mr Oduol's rally at Luthehe market and addressed the crowd.
The judge disregarded assertions by the ODM leaders that they are the ones who had booked the venue first and confirmed the commitment of an election offence.
He also found the ODM politicians guilty of distributing posters that had the photo of William Oduol superimposed to that of Jubilee leader Uhuru Kenyatta.
Another offence that the judge confirmed was a smear campaign headed by Gem MP Jakoyo Midiwo. He confirmed the petitioner’s allegations that Mr Midiwo on various occasions told gatherings that Mr Oduol was a murderer who had shot his wife.
Justice Muchelule did not, however, place responsibility on former Prime Minister Raila Odinga over an allegation that he had called Mr Oduol a “wild cat that should be thrown away” during a rally and that he unfavourably endorsed Mr Rasanga. He observed that, as the ODM leader, Mr Odinga had a right to advocate for a six-piece voting pattern within his party.
In the end, the judge observed that Mr Oduol’s campaign was not free and fair and that it compromised the integrity of the election."
