A constant theme running through three petitions filed at the Supreme Court to nullify President Uhuru Kenyatta’s election are malpractices allegedly committed by the electoral commission.

The petitions by former Kilome MP Harun Mwau and two human rights leaders Njonjo Mue — the chairman of International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) Kenya Chapter — and Khelef Khalifa, the chairman the Muslims for Human Rights (Muhuri), fault how the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) conducted the October 26 polls.
