The Supreme Court failed to raise the requisite quorum to hear a case that sought to block today's presidential election in a surprise move that added to the drama leading up to the repeat vote.

Chief Justice David Maraga informed lawyers that the court would not sit as it lacked quorum, meaning the electoral commission can continue with the election.
