Friday, August 19, 2022 –President-elect William Ruto and his deputy Rigathi Gachagua will be taking their official oath of office this end month.
This will happen should there be no person lodging a petition at the Supreme Court to challenge their election; or further when the petition fails to sail through the upper court.
Article 141(2)(a) of the constitution on Assumption of Office of President provides that the President-elect should be sworn in on the first Tuesday following the 14th day after the date of the declaration of the result of the presidential election if no petition has been filed at the Supreme Court.
Anyone who is not satisfied with their election, according to Constitutional regulations, should file his or her evidence, within a strict period of seven days.
What therefore this means is that the set deadline for completing this process of filing complaints cannot be compromised.
In that regard, the Supreme Court will be determining the petition within the Constitutional period of 14 days from the date the filing was done. Its decision shall be final.
After the pretrial conference, the hearing immediately picks on where all lawyers representing both sides face-off for a few days before the seven judges retreat to prepare their final verdict which is read individually before the Chief Justice declares the outcome.
William Ruto was recently handed his victory certificate by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati at an event held at the Bomas of Kenya Grounds.
