The High Court in Nairobi has certified as urgent a case filed by Equitable Party member Emmanuel Willyngtone Khamala challenging the party’s planned National Delegates Conference (NDC), keeping his bid for intervention before the court.
Justice Janet Mulwa directed that the application be served immediately on the respondents, paving the way for the matter to return to court on Monday, November 16, 2026, for further directions or hearing.
Khamala wss seeking to suspend the November 13 conference, arguing that registered party members have been excluded from key party decisions.
Although the court declined to issue interim orders stopping the conference, Justice Mulwa noted that the application lacked the Political Parties Disputes Tribunal ruling delivered on November 12, which forms the basis of the challenge.
The judge directed that the ruling be availed to enable the court to examine the issues raised.
The court’s decision does not determine the merits of Khamala’s challenge, leaving his substantive grievances pending consideration.
