Kenya: Electoral Commission denies opposition’s claim to access electoral materials
The Supreme Court of Kenya has granted the opposition National Super Alliance access to the electoral commission’s database and materials, following the party’s petition challenging the result of the August 8 presidential election.
The opposition leader, Raila Odinga claims that Kenya’s electronic voting system, run by the Independent Electoral and Boundary Commission had been tampered with to give victory to his rival Uhuru Kenyatta who he accused of being a computer-generated leader.
A report says National Super Alliance to access Independent Electoral and Boundary Commission data will be limited to only aspects that will not compromise the commission’s electoral management systems.
The president Kenyatta’s swearing in has been postponed from 29th of this month so that the Supreme Court can first announce the findings of its investigation into the election.
Meanwhile, the Electoral Commission has denied the claims of the opposition party.
