No proof of Kenya would fraud in this election by Ruto lawyers

 

Kenya’s High Supreme Court concluded the presidential case hearings on Thursday.

Lawyers representing the electoral commission and President-elect William Ruto challenged the case by presidential candidate Raila Odinga and six others seeking to overturn the result of the 9 August 2022 election.

The legal teams urged the court to dismiss pleas made by Mr Odinga and others telling they lacked merit because they had not tabled evidence to depend their claims.

They challenged the petitioners to provide evidence to demonstrate that the results transmission system was compromised.

The court was told that the allegations made about the dispute between the commissioners and the chairperson were merely sensational and do not warrant a nullification of the election outcome.

They accused petitioners of engineering a constitutional crisis to achieve the political objectives.

Lawyers sould answer to questions and clarifications sought by the seven-judge bench on Friday 2 sept 2022.

The judges will then write the judgement over the weekend and deliver the ruling on Monday 5 sept 2022.
