[Boniface Okendo,Standard]Submissions in the second petition against the election of President Uhuru Kenyatta closed Thursday without high-octane presentations that characterised the first petition that annulled the August 8 presidential poll. Attorney General Githu Muigai and Thirdway Alliance presidential candidate Ekuru Aukot defended the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission’s conduct of the repeat presidential election and asked the court to dismiss the cases challenging the election. “The issue of nomination of candidates before the election is water under the bridge, it was settled by the High Court that no nomination is necessary for a fresh presidential election. In any case, nomination is not the only requirement in a presidential election,” said Mutuma.
