Fred Ngatia: Election petition a work of fiction and conspiracy

He argued that Kenya's elections were held everywhere in the country, and the outcome represented the sovereign will of the people, which was now being questioned.

"I said in 2013 and I repeat, we are unable to inculcate amongst ourselves the culture of accepting the electoral results. It is the reason that other than conspiracy, there is no case," he argued.

The lead counsel also hinted that "mutations" had been added to the petition.

"When you retire to consider your judgement, please carry out some surgery, see the mutations added, and remove them so that you are left with the original inquiry under Article 140," Ngatia told court.

The lawyer was appearing for William Ruto.

Ngatia was assisted by lawyers Kithure Kindiki, Kioko Kilukumi, Katwa Kigen, Kiragu Kimani, Dr Linda Musumba, among others.
