People listen to the live broadcast of the Supreme Court of Kenya's judgement on the outcome of the general elections on their smart phones in Nairobi on September 5, 2022. Kenyans anxiously awaited a Supreme Court ruling on September 5, 2022 on petitions challenging the outcome of the August 2022 presidential election, with weeks of political uncertainty looming if the poll is annulled. Deputy President William Ruto was declared the winner of the tightly fought race, scraping to victory by a narrow margin of less than two percentage points against Raila Odinga, a veteran opposition politician now backed by the ruling party. Odinga filed a petition to Kenya's top court last month, alleging fraud in the vote tallying process and claiming he had “enough evidence” to show he had in fact won the August 9 election, which ranks as one of Africa's most expensive polls.
