The electoral commission can print LSK's ballot papers for the February 25 elections, except for the contested position of national council member, the High Court has said.
Justice Weldon Korir gave the directive yesterday during the hearing of a petition filed by lawyer Frank Ochieng
Last week, Korir temporarily stopped the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission from printing the ballot papers.
Ochieng claims he has been prevented from contesting as a national council member for allegedly being ineligible.
Through his lawyer Okong’o Omogeni, he said there are no clear regulations governing the Law Society of Kenya's elections.
Ochieng said the LSK chairman usurped the powers of the secretary general by barring other candidates.
However, LSK chairman Eric Mutua said since new regulations governing the conduct of elections are yet to be promulgated.
He said LSK is legally permitted to use the old regulations.
In a sworn document, Mutua said soon after candidates submitted their nomination papers, the then CEO of LSK issued a notice of receipt to members on November 24 last year.
He said no candidate was shortlisted through the notice or given the go-ahead to campaign.
Mutua said Ochieng’s allegations of discrimination and bias are "not supported by any evidence".
The court will rule on February 16 on whether Ochieng will be allowed to contest for the seat.
