The court made the decision after the petitioners failed to deposit the required Sh500,000 security fee within the timeline set by law.
The case had been filed to contest the results of the parliamentary election in Mbeere North Constituency.
The petitioners had raised concerns over the conduct of the election and had asked the court to review the outcome.
However, before the case could proceed to full hearing, the court ruled that the petition could not continue because the petitioners did not meet the legal requirement of paying the security deposit.
According to election laws in Kenya, individuals who file election petitions are required to deposit a fixed amount of money as security for costs.
The deposit is meant to cover possible legal expenses if the petition fails. Courts usually set strict deadlines for this payment, and failure to comply often leads to dismissal of the case.
During the ruling, the court noted that the petitioners were given adequate time to deposit the required amount but failed to do so.
As a result, the court stated that it had no choice but to dismiss the petition in line with the law.
The judge emphasized that legal procedures must be followed strictly, especially in election matters where timelines are clearly outlined.
The dismissal means that Wamuthende will continue serving as the area Member of Parliament without further legal challenge related to the petition.
The ruling brings an end to a case that had created political tension within the constituency, with supporters from both sides closely following the court process.
Following the decision, Wamuthende welcomed the ruling, describing it as confirmation that the will of the voters had been respected.
He thanked his supporters for standing by him during the legal process and said he was ready to focus fully on delivering development projects for the people of Mbeere North.
The MP stated that election disputes are part of democratic processes but stressed that leaders must respect court decisions once they are made.
He urged residents to remain united and focus on development rather than political divisions.
Wamuthende said his priority is improving infrastructure, supporting education, and promoting economic opportunities within the constituency.
On the other hand, some of the petitioners expressed disappointment with the outcome.
They argued that their concerns about the election were genuine but admitted that failure to meet the legal requirement made it difficult for the case to proceed.
Legal experts say such dismissals are common when petitioners fail to follow strict election rules.
Political observers note that election petitions often face technical challenges because of strict legal procedures and timelines.
They explain that the requirement for a security deposit is meant to discourage weak or unnecessary petitions while ensuring serious cases are properly handled.
