SUMMARY When the Supreme Court nullified the August 8 elections, key constitutional tenet preserving the sovereignty of the people of Kenya was upheld. It is worth noting that Uhuru Kenyatta has acquitted himself superbly well throughout this electioneering period. The Supreme Court of Kenya asserted its independence on September 1 by annulling the August 8 Presidential elections in its entirety. Each time following the judgment, he has accepted the decision of the Court, albeit with severe reservations in this year’s verdict. Obviously Odinga’s strategy of focusing on the integrity of the entire election process rather than the technicalities of reversing Kenyatta’s one million plus win, yielded a winning result.
