There was no basis to upset the will of the voter, says Justice Njoki Ndung’u

Supreme Court Judge Njoki Ndung’u has faulted the nullification of the presidential election before all ballots were scrutinised to verify claims of rigging.

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