Julie Soweto's submission that Venezuelan Jose Carmago fixed the August 9 presidential poll in favour of President-elect William Ruto by staging Forms 34A in the IEBC portal was sensational, this is according to the Supreme Court.

Rendering the Supreme Court's decision midday Monday, Chief Justice Martha Koome said Soweto's 'staging' submission, including claims that Forms 34A in the Gacharaigu polling station were staged and altered, turned out to be no more than hot air and a wild goose chase.
