Presidential candidate Raila Odinga’s coalition won another round against the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) when the Court of Appeal ruled that elections results announced at constituency level will be final.

Friday, the IEBC suffered a major setback after a five-judge bench affirmed the High Court’s decision that results declared by returning officers cannot be altered or changed at the National Polling Centre.
