Ruto And Gachagua Denied Extension To Prepare Their Extension

Ruto will be permitted to react to affidavits submitted by Attorney General Paul Kihara Kariuki during the hearing, but the court would not accept any additional filings of pleadings, according to Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu.

According to the Apex Court, “Amici Curiae (friends of the court) are limited to written submissions that are presented in court,” hence John Walubengo, Joseph Sevilla, and Martin Mirero were not permitted to participate in the examination of ballots from 15 polling places.

The three had requested to take part so they could modify the court reports they had submitted in accordance with the results of the vote-counting analysis.

A vote recount in places thought to be the President-strongholds elect’s was mandated by the seven judges earlier today.

The Supreme Court claims that the decision will assist Raila Odinga of the Azimio One Kenya Alliance and other petitioners in demonstrating claims of electoral fraud.

A vote recount was requested by the Supreme Court in;

The primary schools in the following counties: Nandi Hills, Tinderet CONMO, and Sindendeti in Nandi County; Belgut, Kapsuser, and Chepkutum in Kericho County; Jomvi, Mikindani, and Ministry of Water Tanks; Mvita, Majengo, and Mvita Primary School in Mombasa Jarok; Gathanji and Kiheo in Nyandarua County; and Sindendeti, Majengo, and Mvita

The Inspector General of Police was additionally instructed by the Supreme Court to provide protection for the ballots from the voting places stated in the aforementioned regions.
