Kenya’a Supreme Court Upholds Election Of William Ruto As President-Elect

The Supreme Court of Kenya has upheld the election of the country’s deputy president, William Ruto as the next president of Kenya.

Kenya'a Supreme Court Upholds Election Of William Ruto As President-Elect

Court Declares William Ruto’s Election As Valid

KanyiDaily recalls that Ruto was declared the winner of the Kenya presidential election on August 9, 2020, after raking in 50.49 percent of the votes to defeat ex-Prime Minister Raila Odinga, his closest rival, who polled 48.85 percent.

But Odinga alleged irregularities in the election and said Ruto’s narrow win was the product of massive fraud, claiming that the deputy president hacked into the electoral system and replaced genuine pictures of polling station result forms with fake ones.

Also, four out of seven election commissioners of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) of Kenya disowned the result, saying the election should be nullified.

The IEBC members said the tallying of results announced by the commission’s chairman, Wafula Chebukati, had been opaque as the chairman unilaterally carried out the vote tally and declaration of the result.

During the ruling on Monday, September 5,  the chief justice of Kenya’s supreme court, Martha Koome said the court is “not persuaded by the allegation that technology deployed by the IEBC failed the standard test of integrity, verifiability, security and transparency”.

On the issue that there was interference with the results uploaded to the electoral commission’s portal, the court said, “no credible evidence was presented to prove that anyone accessed the results transmission system to intercept, detain or tamper with the results before they were uploaded to the portal”.

Koome added that the argument that the integrity of the public portal was compromised was disproved.

On whether the chairperson of the electoral commission can verify, tally and declare results without consulting other commissioners, the court held that the chairperson cannot arrogate to himself the power to verify and tally the results to the exclusion of others.

“But we take cognisance of the fact that the four commissioners actively participated in the verification and tallying exercise from the beginning until just before the declaration of results,” Koome said.

“The four commissioners have not placed before this court any information or document showing that the election was either compromised or that the result would have substantially differed from that declared by the chairperson.

“They have not explained why they took part in a verification process when they knew it was opaque.”

The judge said the court is critical of the governance of the electoral commission which could produce such a split but, however, said this was not enough to nullify the outcome of the poll.

“We declare that the election of the first respondent as president-elect is valid. We order that each party do bear their own cost,” she said.

KanyiDaily recalls that the presidential candidate of the Labour Party, Peter Obi had congratulated William Ruto on his victory in the Kenyan presidential election.
