Supreme Court hears vote recount arguments
The Supreme Court has heard arguments from parties arising from the results of re-tallying of votes from 22 polling stations.
The recount was finalised on Thursday, High Court registrar Gladys Shollei said.
Also, a review of Forms 34 and Forms 36 as ordered by the Supreme Court on Monday was concluded, she said.
But Mrs Shollei could not disclose the results, saying it would be prejudicial to the on going hearings at the Supreme Court.
The results will show whether the number of votes cast exceeded the number of registered voters as alleged by Coalition for Reforms and Democracy (Cord) lawyers.
Form 34 is a legal document that shows the votes obtained by each of the candidates at a polling centre, and the contenders’ agents are required to sign it after establishing that the results are accurate before it is forwarded to the national tallying centre.
Form 35 shows the results for governors, senators, county and women’s representatives while Form 36 gives a summary of the votes obtained by all candidates in constituencies.
