The Supreme Court has rejected Raila Odinga's application to
admit additional evidence in his petition challenging the electoral
commission's declaration of Uhuru as President-elect.The judges ordered the 839-page affidavit to be expunged from the court records.Earlier, the court struck out Mr Odinga’s application for a forensic audit of the IEBC Information Technology (IT) system.The Supreme Court ruled that Mr Odinga's application was time barred and could therefore not be allowed.The judges also rejected a request by Katiba Institute to be enjoined in the suit as 'amicus curiae' (friend of the court).The court ruled that the
Institute had shown bias against the third and fourth respondents who
are Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto.
