Chairperson Wafula Chebukati had been accused of violating the constitution and electoral law during the declaration of the election results.

Appearing before a seven-judge bench, lawyers have told the court that Mr Chebukati was mandated by law to announce the results.

They described the petition challenging Mr Chebukati as a witch hunt and full of speculation because no evidence had been presented to support the allegations.

While admitting that there were a few errors, the electoral commission lawyers insist that the election was conducted according to the law and there were no sufficient grounds to warrant a nullification of the results.

They want the petition dismissed.
