Supreme Court judge Njoki Ndung’u criticised the nullification of the presidential election without scrutiny of ballots to verify the claims of rigging.

Njoki who alongside Justice Jackton Ojwang dissented with the majority decision to invalidate President Uhuru Kenyatta's re-election, argued that the will of the voter is supreme and in the absence of evidence, a Court must not overturn the people’s choice.
