Raila Odinga-led Azimio la Umoja coalition is expected to file a petition on the recently concluded presidential election at the Supreme Court by 2 pm.

This is in line with the set constitutional deadline for filing a presidential petition.

The coalition was expected to file the petition on Sunday, but it was moved to Monday (Today) when the set deadline collapses.

After filing, Azimio will be expected to serve respondents within one day, who will then have four days to file their responses.

The case will then be heard and determined by September 4, 2022.

Raila’s team is working on a multi-faceted legal attack against IEBC and chairman Chebukati.

The case, according to Azimio insiders, will hinge on claims of inflated figures, abnormal voter turnout in Kenya Kwanza strongholds, manipulation of Kiems kits and illegal voter transfers.

A seven-judge bench will decide on Azimio’s election petition. It will listen to Azimio, Ruto and the electoral commission and decide the way forward to deciding who is Kenya’s legitimate president
