Supreme Court upholds re-election of President Uhuru

Supreme Court unanimously upholds re-election of President Uhuru Kenyatta paving way for his swearing in for second term in office.

All the eyes were on the Supreme Court judges led by Chief Justice David Maraga, who upheld Uhuru re-election to paving way for his swearing in for the second term in office.

The court nullified the August 8 election on account of illegalities and irregularities. Among the faults found by the highest court in the land is lack of proper transmission system and at the same time use of forms which did not have security features.

This time, the court unanimously upheld President Uhuru’s re-election throwing out the petitions on grounds that they were not merited. 

President Uhuru Kenyatta is set to be sworn in on November 28.
