Supreme court timelines for Raila petition

It is a rush against time as the Supreme Court prepares to hear the nine petitions filed Monday to challenge the outcome of the August 9 presidential polls.

The petitions are likely to be consolidated into one petition during the pre-trial conference.

The Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition and eight other petitioners want the Supreme Court to overturn President-elect William Ruto’s win citing irregularities and a mismatch of election results.

Petitioners are on Tuesday expected to serve the respondents with the petition.    BY THE STAR
