Kenya’s Supreme Court has unanimously upheld the re-election of President Uhuru Kenyatta, paving way for his swearing-in for a\u00a0second term in office.<\/p>\n

All the eyes were on the Supreme Court judges led by Chief Justice David Maraga, who upheld Uhuru re-election to paving way for his swearing in for the second term in office.<\/p>\n

The court nullified the August 8 election on account of illegalities and irregularities. Among the faults found by the highest court in the land is lack of proper transmission system and at the same time use of forms which did not have security features.<\/p>\n

This time, the court unanimously upheld President Uhuru\u2019s re-election throwing out the petitions on grounds that they were not merited.<\/p>\n
