Raila Odinga’s Azimio finally filed its petition at the Supreme court with a list of demands to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and the President-elect William Ruto who have been listed as respondents.

According the document, Raila wants to be granted access to review  all KIEMS kits used in 2022 general election

IEBC has also been asked to avail all materials including electronic documents, devises and equipment for presidential election within two daysThe Wafula Chebukati-led commission has been asked to declare that the third respondent (Ruto) committed election irregularities, illegalities  during election.

Also among the prayers listed in the petition is a forensic audit of electoral technology deployed during the election and a fresh election be conducted.

Raila also wants the Apex Court to declare that Chebukati committed election irregularities during elections and be prosecuted.

Two other Kenyans have also filed petitions challenging Ruto’s win in the just concluded August 9 general election.

Speaking to the press after filing a physical petition, Tom Ojienda, one of Azimio lawyers said they were confident the election was not conducted as required by the constitution

Ojienda noted that the technology during the election was provided as enabler of the rights of people to vote but when it is comprised, it undermines the rights of voters, thus defiling the whole process.

“If you look at the technology which was used in this election, you will find that there are unauthorised users who tried to access the IEBC servers.

Technology which was deployed by IEBC in this exercise was one which did not facilitate the exercise of the right in the manner required by the law,” Ojienda stated.

He also mentioned the KPMG 2017/2022 report which flagged unauthorized users who had access to the IEBC, system undermining the commission’s quest to deliver free, fair and credible polls.
