Why the Supreme Court May Nullify the Presidential Elections Again

2815

The Supreme Court may be forced to nullify the presidential elections again based on the following reasons:

  1. That the election was conducted against the greater public interest, which is a noble principle in democracy, constitutionalism and the rule of law.
  2. That the election did not take place in all the 290 constituencies contrary to the provision of the constitution.
  3. That the IEBC hired returning officers in an irregular manner which amounted to an illegality as asserted by the high court.
  4. The illegal stay of the high court issued by Justice Githinji of the appellate court at night in a matter that was previously ex-parte.
  5. The forging of signature of Judges Fatuma Sichale and Martha Koome by Justice Githinji of the appellate court who stayed the high court order.
  6. Gazetting Raila and Uhuru only in accordance with the Supreme Court ruling of 2013, but when Raila uses the same ruling to withdraw, IEBC failed to conduct fresh nominations.
  7. Printing of ballot papers with Jirongo’s name despite the declaratory order of bankruptcy which was later successfully appealed.
  8. The failure to reconfigure the KIEMS kits to accommodate all presidential candidates, only having Uhuru and Raila.
  9. Failure to send the result in the prescribed form of scanned copies of statutory forms simultaneously with the text messages.
  10. Contradictory statements from Abdi Guliye and Chebukati over the accuracy of KIEMS kits in establishing voter turnout.
  11. Issuing of arbitrary statements with contradictions over the exact number of people who turned out to vote.
  12. Failure to to transmit voter turnout number by returning officers within the intervals of two hours from 7am to 5pm as stipulated by election act.
  13. The resignation of Roselyine Akombe and her damning letter of the IEBC ineptitude in expediting a free and fair election.
  14. The buttressing of Akombe’s position by Chebukati 24 hours later by asserting that the commission was not in a position to carry out free and fair election.
