Kenyan Supreme Court on Friday annuled the country’s presidential elections terming them “null and void” because of numerous irregularities and ordered the election to be held within 60 days. Chief Justice David Maraga said the 8 August election had not been "conducted in accordance with the constitution".

A report filed by the Kenyan Supreme court registrar found a number of errors in the 41,451 polling station tally sheets — known as form 34A — as well as in 291 of the form 34B constituency tally sheets, some of which were unsigned, not stamped, illegible or lacking serial numbers or watermarks.
The registrar's report found that the electoral commission failed to provide full court-ordered access to its servers, which the alliance had demanded in order to back up its allegations of hacking.

Kenya’s incumbent President Kenyatta said he would respect the court's decision. Opposition leader Raila Odinga, 72, said the ruling marked "a historic day for the people of Kenya and by extension for the people of the continent of Africa".
 

The six-judge bench ruled 4-2 in favor of the petition filed by Raila Odinga.  Kenya's Supreme Court has 7 judges, one was sick and has been admitted in hospital through out the sitting.  President Kenyatta declared he "personally disagrees" with the ruling but respects it. He however lashed out at the judges, saying that "six people have decided they will go against the will of the people."Kenya's Current Supreme Court Justices
