questions that would be based on while making the petition judgements

 

As the Judges retire to make judgements,The Supreme Court, consolidated the petitions into 9 questions. 

The answer to these questions can uphold or nullify Ruto's victory.

With your indulgence, let's look at each...

1. Did Ruto get 50%+1? 

The custodian of figures (IEBC) not only showed what the official turnout out WAS, but also how they arrived at it...and since the petitioner's don't have a contrary source of turnout figures, the matter rests.

The petitioners are yet to provide a single proof that Raila's votes were added to Ruto. 

2. Was the technology used up to standard?

Wasaredo argued that the technology failed by a lot hence didn't meet the legal standards.

The evidence shows that out of 46,229 only about 200 kits failed. That's  99% success. 

Also, over 99% of the form 34As were successfully uploaded to the portal.

3. Was the IEBC portal hacked?

Githongo himself disowned the forgery he submitted to the Apex Court.

Nyagaya's  affidavit simply told the court the list of IEBC staff who had access to the system.

The science fiction of "forms were intercepted and edited" turned out to be just that, a reimagined James Bond Movie 

4. Are the physical Form 34As different from those on the IEBC Portal?

The Scrutiny report has killed the useless claim.

5. Did the postponed elections deny Raila votes?

How is that possible when the said areas had higher or similar turnout (presidential) with surrounding areas as the figures showed? 

6. Was the discrepancies between votes for the governor and the president explained?

The 35k and other stories za abunwasi were dismissed with data...

The few discrepancies were also explained, ELABORATELY so! 

7. Did IEBC tally and verify results according to law?

Tallying (aggregating forms 34As) was done with precision

Verification (confirming if the physical 34As match the upload one) was done with unmatched accuracy.

IEBC also recorded clerical errors and submitted them to Court as the law requires 

8. Are the alleged irregularities and illegalities enough to alter the results.

Up to now, the petitioners can't show the court evidence to prove irregularities, let alone illegalities.

And even if they were to be found, they don't affect the results in a single way! 

Jokes like blaming Chebukati for procurement, the job of the CEO, are amusing. But that's all they are. 

9. What orders can the Supreme Court give?

By law, the Supreme Court can only uphold or nullify elections...they don't have the power to declare Raila President.

The law is very clear on how to remove Chebukati and the Supreme has no part in it.
