Case to stop fresh election certified as urgent

Chief Justice David Maraga has certified a case seeking to stop Thursday’s presidential poll as urgent.

The CJ also directed the petitioners— Mr Khalef Khalifa, Mr Samuel Mohochi and Mr Gacheke Gachuhi— to file their submissions by Tuesday 6pm.

He also asked the respondents— Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and presidential candidates— to file their responses and submissions by Wednesday morning.

The CJ said the case will be heard on Wednesday despite being a public holiday.

The three moved to court arguing that the prevailing environment in the country cannot guarantee a credible poll.
