Azimio leader Raila Odinga and Martha Karua laid down their reasons as to why the August 9 presidential election was not free fair or verifiable.
According to Raila and Karua, the technology deployed by the electoral agency was "inherently corrupt" and manipulated by third parties.
Lawyer Philip Murgor, who was appearing for Raila and Karua, told the seven judges of the apex court there was proof that the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission's (IEBC) servers were infiltrated by unauthorised persons. He further argued the system deployed by the commission to run the August 9 election was not secure which opened the entire process to manipulation.
