Supreme Court Dismisses Petitions, Upholds Kenyatta's Victory

The bench has found that the two separate election petitions, that of Harun Mwau and that of Khelef Khalifa and Njonjo Mwau, failed to show that the October 26 repeat poll was so "fundamentally flawed" to warrant a nullification. Judge David Maraga says a detailed decision would be issued within 22 days.
