Lawyers representing one of the presidential candidates Raila Odinga are currently presenting their case seeking to nullify the declaration of William Ruto as president-elect.

They have six hours to argue their case.

Mr Ruto’s lawyers and those representing the electoral commission will also face the seven-judge bench later in the afternoon.

Meanwhile, scrutiny and recounting of votes in 15 polling stations where the credibility of the final tally was contested is also under way at the court house.

Kenyans are keenly following the televised petition hearing.

The verdict is expected to be out on 5 September.
