Ugenya MP Chris Karan has been kicked out of an election petition challenging his win after he presented a fake document in court.
Karan was the third respondent in a case filed by the former MP Dave Ochieng'.
He had responded to the court petition after the deadline and later argued that he was taken ill in a Mombasa Hospital.
But the Kisumu High Court on Thursday found the document to be fake and expunged it.
"When we wrote to the facility, the hospital disowned the MP and the letter he purported to have been given at the facility," Ochieng's lawyer Daniel Achacha said.
Judge Trisphisa Cherere said the matter will continue on December 4 without the MP.
Karan of ODM won the election with 23,765 votes, while Ochieng' garnered 23,418 votes.
