This is as a petitioner this time queries the low voter turnout during the October 26 repeat presidential election, handing President Uhuru Kenyatta victory. They claim the low turnout in the re-run is a sign the electorate does not want Jubilee government's reign. They claim in 1992, 66.81 per cent voted while in 1997 there was a 88.86 per cent turnout. “The allegation on low voter turnout at the fresh presidential election is misplaced and borne out of ignorance or deliberate intention to mislead this honourable court. Voting is not compulsory in Kenya and there is no minimum threshold for voter turnout save for the constitutional threshold set out in Article 138(4) of the Constitution, says Jubilee.
