Police sealed off roads near Kenya’s Supreme Court on Wednesday as judges prepared to deliver a detailed ruling laying out their reasons for annulling August presidential election.

Report says voters are anxious to find out whether the vote was voided on procedural grounds.

The court had already said in its brief September 1 ruling that some tallying sheets were not signed or officially stamped or whether there was evidence of systematic rigging.

Election board officials had said incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta won by 1.5 million votes, but that was rejected by opposition leader Raila Odinga, who said the 2017 election and the previous two were stolen from him.
However, the court ordered a fresh vote to be held within 60 days.

Kenyatta promised to respect the ruling although he had repeatedly criticised it harshly.

Earlier, the chief justice had told a news conference that judges were getting death threats and the police were not offering adequate protection, an allegation that the chief of police denied.

Also on Tuesday, police also used tear gas to disperse supporters of the ruling party protesting outside the Supreme Court.

In a couple of towns, ruling party supporters used stones to block main roads.
Meanwhile, police have said they would disperse any such protests. (Reuters/NAN)
