Ruto maintains the Jubilee team won the presidency by over 50.02 per cent.
“Part of the Jubilee coalition votes were lost in an improper reconciling of
spoilt and rejected votes but the coalition accepted the declared results,” he
says in the papers prepared by his lawyer Katwa Kigen.
He says Raila’s allegation that Uhuru did not garner over 50 per cent votes
was unfounded and untrue. The Jubilee luminaries contend that most of the
observers accredited by IEBC, including Heads of States and representatives of
other countries, had returned the verdict the polls were substantially free,
fair and credible.
Their lawyers led by Fred Ngatia for Uhuru and Katwa Kigen for Ruto, argue
the Supreme Court has no jurisdiction to entertain some of the questions of
criminal culpability sought by Raila against the IEBC and its chairman. It
cannot deal; they go on, with the procurement process of the electronic
equipment used in the polls.
Ruto says Raila cannot seek what would be an invalidation of all the other
elections for other seats. The court has no power to address the issue of voter
registration, civic education, campaigns, elections and declarations into
various offices, they added.
