This comes after the Court upheld President Kenyattas re-election following the dismissal of two petitions filed by former Kilome MP Harun Mwau and activists Njonjo Mue and Khelef Khalifa.

In thejudgment, Chief Justice David Maraga stated that the petitions were not merited and were thus dismissed.

The CJ noted that the two presidential election petitions were consolidated and heard together because of time pressure and that the judges had arrived at the final decision unanimously.

He added that the detailed judgement of the presidential petition shall be issued within 21 days of the determination issued on Monday.

The presidential election held on 26 October is hereby upheld as is the election of the third respondent. Each party shall bear its own cost, Maraga stated
