Former Samburu Senator Sammy Prisa Leshore has replaced ousted Jubilee nominated Senator Isaac Mwaura.
This follows a gazette notice by IEBC Chair Wafula Chebukati dated 11th May.
Mwaura's name was deleted from the list of members nominated to represent people living with disabilities.
" The deleted Nominee stands disqualified as the member of to the Senate representing persons with disabilities," read the Gazette Notice.
Leshore will now be the Jubilee nominated senator for people living with disabilities.
The gazette notice was issued on the very day a High Court issued an injunction blocking the implementation of Senate Speaker Kenneth Lusaka's gazette notice declaring Mwaura's seat vacant.
Justice Joseph Sergon gave interim orders stopping Speaker Lusaka from acting on the decision made by the Political Parties Dispute Tribunal which upheld the verdict of the ruling Jubilee Party to expel the embattled legislator on grounds of indiscipline.
"Pending the inter-partes hearing of the motion dated May 11, 2021, an order for stay of further implementation of the Gazette Notice number 4597 Vol CXX11-102 dated and issued on May 10, 2021," Justice Sergon ruled barring Lusaka from declaring Mwaura's seat vacant.
After the ruling, Senator Mwaura took to his social media handle to celebrate the High Court order and thanked God that his alleged unprocedural removal had been suspended.
" There is a GOD in heaven. Those who wait upon Him, are never put to shame as I have been granted an injunction. I respect all Govt leaders, and I will maintain political decorum at all times. All praises to the almighty GOD," he tweeted.
With his replacement already gazetted, the fate of Mwaura is as good as sealed.
Mwaura's woes begun on December 31st last year during the homecoming ceremony of Msambweni MP Feisal Bader.
The MP denounced his allegiance to President Uhuru Kenyatta and stated that he will support Deputy President William Ruto for Presidency.
It is Mwaura's remarks on President Uhuru and his family on that day that, sources say, culminated into a protracted battle with his Jubilee party leading to his expulsion from Jubilee.
