Kenya’s Supreme Court to deliver its judgment on the presidential election petition at midday

Kenya’s Supreme Court has announced that they will deliver their ruling on petitions challenging the outcome of the August presidential election at 12pm.

William Ruto was declared the winner of the tightly contested race on August 15, with 50.5 percent of the votes against 48.9 percent for Raila Odinga.

Odinga filed a petition to Kenya’s top court last month, alleging fraud in the vote tallying process and claiming he had “enough evidence” to show he had in fact won the August 9 election.

Judges have spent the last two weeks rifling through boxes of evidence to figure out if the technology used by the election commission met the “standards of integrity, verifiability, security, and transparency.”
