Is the 1 million excess votes a fact?

If it is, the election rules do not allow a voter to walk out with a ballot paper, since each voter was issued with a ballot paper for every position, IEBC should then explain to the SC how the difference came about.


Did they consider that some Gubernatorial seats were not contested?

This seems more like a case study for academic reasons than a legal search.


There is a wrong assumption (my thoughts) by CORD that a voter who voted for CORD governor also automatically voted for its presidential candidate. The outcome of Nairobi polls for governor and president ought to have enlightened them with the 50/50 split.


That wud be such a dangerous assumption. Just look at the senatorial votes...


So why the complaint by CORD as put above by Madollar?

FACT: a voter who picked only three ballot papers - president, governor and senator and said has no interest with the rest... and he voted that way!!
When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.

The MAIN case will be based on the original 34 page petition...right?

CORD will NOT introduce any affidavits to prove the points raised in the original petition.

The Petition's grounds, arguments for, issues of determination and relief sought (as contained HERE) are very clear.

The rejected petitions in my view were to build up on the original petition. Now that they have been all rejected and having in mind the evidence threshold required by any Supreme Court to declare an election null and void, just how will CORD pull this off?

Someone please enlighten me.

If am not wrong, all cards are and should be on the table by now. What will Senior Counsel Oraro pull off his sleeves that is not on the original petition that in my view my end up just being allegations?

@freiks, I'd award you 15/10 if you are a CORD supporter and hold that view. That would be the mark of a noble man.
