Key highlights from Omtatah petition seeking Ruto resignation

Activist Okiya Omtatah moved to court seeking DP William Ruto's resignation as he eyes the presidency.

In the petition on Monday, Omtatah says that any public officer, including a sitting deputy president, a sitting governor, a sitting deputy governor, a sitting MP, and a sitting MCA must vacate office before nomination as a presidential candidate.

"A declaration that a sitting president, a sitting deputy president, a sitting governor, and a sitting deputy governor cannot be elected to elective positions other than the ones they hold," he said in his petition.

According to Omtatah, a sitting deputy president, a sitting governor, a sitting deputy governor, a sitting MP, and a sitting MCA is not qualified for nomination as a presidential candidate.
