Critical questions about solutions petitioners seek from the Supreme Court

The judges also wanted to know whether the violence at Bomas had any effect on the final results.

"What role did the violence at Bomas play because we have evidence from the chair that he couldn't do this because he and Guyo were attacked and couldn't announce the results from 27 polling stations," asked Justice Lenaola.

Senior Counsel James Orengo was asked to explain the relevance of voter turnout in determining if a candidate won. Justice Wanjala wanted to how at what point the forms 34A were altered after being dispatched digitally and physically.

Orengo is also expected to clarify if the four dissenting commissioners complained about Chebukati's actions before they walked out of the National Tallying Centre at Bomas.

"Why couldn't the dissenting Commissioners protest against Chebukati on time?" posed Justice Wanjala.

Justice Ouko sought to understand the relevance of spoilt votes in computing the results.

Chief Justice Koome asked if the Supreme Court makes an order against Chebukati, will it usurp powers of the subordinate courts that are supposed to deal with election offences.

Justice Lenaola said that Section 6 of the IEBC Act states that the chair must be an advocate of the High Court with the qualification similar to that of a Judge of the Supreme Court.

"If the court removes Chebukati, will the commission still be legally constituted to oversee another election?" Lenaola posed.
