Registered voters have moved to court to the supreme court seeking
interpretation on whether the rejected votes cast should be used in the final
determination of a presidential election at the supreme court. They want the
court to determine whether the independent electoral and boundaries commission
was right to include the rejected votes on the tallying of the presidential
votes in the just concluded election.
The three, Dennis Itumbi, Moses Kuria and Florence Sergon are
questioning if the presidential election tallying center had any authority in
law to alter the constitution basis of counting votes to vary the percentage of
votes. They also want the court to rule that IEBC erred by including the
rejected vote claiming under rule 77 of election regulation 2012 says that a
rejected vote is not a vote capable of being favored in the tallying process.
The voters claim if the supreme court decision favors them, then
the percentages obtained by president-elect Uhuru Kenyatta and cord candidate Raila
Odinga would increase slightly
