Kenya Supreme Court has rejected Raila Odinga’s challenge to the presidential election result meaning that Willian Ruto is confirmed as the winner of the 9 August poll and is the president-elect.
The seven judges of the Supreme Court in an abridged version of the judgement were not persuaded by all the grounds raised in the petition against the election.
They rejected the allegation that the technology failed the test of integrity, verifiability, security and transparency,
The chief justice said there was no evidence that anyone accessed the results transmission system to tamper with the results.
She said the commission sufficiently explained how the system captured the results forms.
She added that the argument that the integrity of the public portal was compromised was disproved.
The Supreme Court also that petitioners did not provide a watertight case for the nullification of results on the basis that the 50%-plus-one constitutional threshold for an outright win was not met.
It says that William Ruto did get more than 50% plus one votes.
