The Supreme Courtroom has 14 days from the date of the submitting to listen to the petition and provides a verdict.
Kenyan presidential candidate Raila Odinga has filed an digital copy of his problem towards the outcomes of this month’s election, a lawyer for his Azimio La Umoja coalition has instructed a neighborhood broadcaster.
“What we did this morning is to file the web copy,” lawyer Daniel Maanzo instructed Kenyan tv channel NTV Kenya on Monday. “After in the present day there will likely be 4 days for the opposite events to answer.”
The bodily submitting will likely be carried out later within the day within the capital, Nairobi.
Final week the electoral fee chief, Wafula Chebukati, declared Deputy President William Ruto the winner of the election by a slim margin. However 4 out of seven election commissioners dissented, saying the tallying of outcomes had not been clear.
That is Odinga’s fifth stab on the presidency; he blamed a number of earlier losses on rigging. These disputes triggered violence that claimed greater than 1,200 lives in 2007 and over 100 lives 10 years later.
In 2017, the Supreme Courtroom overturned the election outcome and ordered a rerun, which Odinga boycotted, saying he had no religion within the electoral fee.
This time, Odinga is backed by the political institution. President Uhuru Kenyatta endorsed Odinga’s candidacy after falling out with Ruto after the final election.
The election in East Africa’s wealthiest and most secure nation is seen as a democratic barometer for the remainder of the area.
The Supreme Courtroom has 14 days from the date of the submitting to listen to the petition and provides a verdict.
