The Supreme Court judges Wednesday, August 31, raised what they termed as pertinent questions arising from the presidential election petition filed by Azimio leader Raila Odinga and others against William Ruto's election as president.

Justices Martha Koome, Philomena Mwilu, Mohamed Ibrahim, Smokin Wanjala, Njoki Ndung'u and Isaac Lenaola sought clarifications on, among others, how forms 34A were tampered with after leaving the polling stations both physically and through the electronic system.
