Veteran Kenyan politician Raila Odinga is considering all of his legal and constitutional options in an effort to overturn the presidential election results in which he narrowly lost to Deputy President William Ruto.
His remaining time to submit a plea to the Supreme Court is now less than five days.
The claim made by several electoral body commissioners that the chairman marginalized them in the later stages of the results tallying process is one of the concerns that is likely to shape the petition.
Out of the seven commissioners, four have claimed that they did not examine the outcomes confirmed by the technical team before the decision was made.
Another matter that can serve as the foundation for a petition, according to legal experts, is the tallying of figures.
The four commissioners, who dissented from the chairman Wafula Chebukati, point out that more than 20 constituencies' results were still pending when the final outcome was revealed, which they claim rendered the process invalid.
Lawyers dispute on the consequences of the argument prior to the announcement of Mr. Ruto's victory, nevertheless.
Once the petition is submitted, the Supreme Court judges will have 14 days to decide whether to uphold or invalidate Mr. Ruto's election.
