The court ruling that the recommendation to audit the 2022 presidential election will not alter the decision of the Supreme Court that Kenya Kwanza won the presidency has thrown the implementation of the National Dialogue Committee (NADCO) report into a spin.

The bigger question in the contested 2022 presidential election was the legitimacy of the office-bearer despite the Supreme Court ruling. The Kenya Kwanza government itself came out with guns blazing, promising to investigate the actions at Bomas during the tallying of presidential votes. But somehow the fire went off.
