The Supreme court president and chief justice of the republic of Kenya has just read the verdict of the court. It took his just about 10 minutes to read the decisions of the court because the reasons (full ruling) will be given in 14 days as per the requirements of the constitution.
The court has ruled that the election of Uhuru Kenyatta was valid.
This means that Uhuru Kenyatta will now be sworn in as president without hindrance.
The court also ruled that it has no jurisdiction to decide on the issue of whether or not to include rejected votes in the vote tally.
Another more detailed post will follow to analyze the impact of this ruling.

Uhuru's election valid or not valid? Supreme court retires to decide

Wacha, wacha ma-bosses. Ngoja Supreme Court iamue
A few minutes ago the 6 Supreme court judges retired to write their judgment for a historical case that will be talked about and analyzed for generations to come.
Kumekucha's predictions on the outcome not with standing it is expected that whatever side wins the analysis of the controversial elections will start to flow thick and fast after tomorrow.
It is imperative that Kenyans must first analyze the media which is supposed to the fourth estate but in these elections confirmed that they are nothing more than the press release media. Apart from reproducing press statements word for word and then analyzing them, sometimes the press releases come with cash rewards included in the same envelope to help "oil" the journalists analytical abilities.
There were journalists at Boma and they witnessed the jeering when certain results were announced (long before the final tallying). Nobody has written about that. But I guess it is because that is also hate speech. Writing any truth does that not favour the government side is hate speech and incitement.
It is highly unlikely that you will see any article in the press focusing on the missing fourth estate in these elections. But what you are bound to see a lot of is an analysis of the campaigns. There is no doubt that Jubilee executed an amazing campaign that needs to be studied more closely because fiddling or no fiddling it was one that was hard to beat and that is the truth.
Kenya is holding its' collective breath for tomorrow. Did somebody say it's Easter weekend?
