Martha Karua, the running mate of Azimio la Umoja-One Kenya candidate in the August 9, 2022 presidential election Raila Odinga, has filed a petition at the East African Court of Justice seeking an alternative opinion on whether Kenya's Supreme Court verdict was fair.
In the petition filed on Thursday, November 3 alongside the Muslims for Human Rights (MUHURI) group, Karua has told the Arusha-based court that Azimio's grievances in the presidential petition were not fairly addressed.
Raila Odinga lost the presidential race to William Ruto, who got 7.18 million votes (50.49 per cent) to be declared the winner. Odinga received 6.94 million votes (48.85 per cent) to take the first runner-up slot.
