The case seeking to annul the results of the presidential election held on August 9 has been heard by Kenya’s Supreme Court. The petitioners’ attorneys charged that the electoral commission disregarded demands to open servers for inspection during Friday’s sessions. Invoking alleged anomalies, the attorneys for veteran politician Raila Odinga asked the court to overturn President-elect William Ruto’s victory.
Attorneys for the respondents, which include Mr. Ruto and the electoral commission, argued vehemently in their rebuttals that the case should be dismissed because there was insufficient proof of election fraud. The decision that potentially alters Kenya’s political climate will be anxiously awaited. The decision will be rendered on Monday.
