The court was told how the memos were obtained illegally by the petitioners and that procedure was not followed. The lawyers had also prayed that the petitioner’s lawyers should not make references to the coalition’s presidential candidate Raila Odinga’s coalition in their submissions. Following yesterday’s pre-trial session, the six judges of the Supreme Court led by Chief Justice David Maraga will formally begin hearing and determining Uhuru’s fate today (Wednesday, November 15). Two petitions have been filed at the Supreme Court seeking to annul Uhuru’s win in the controversial repeat election held on Thursday, October 26. Another will run concurrently seeking to block Nasa candidates from future elections over election malpractices.
