Chief Registrar of the Judiciary Gladys Boss Shollei has said the Supreme Court will deliver its ruling not later than 5pm today.

Addressing a press briefing, Shollei said the media and the public will be alerted one hour in advance to the ruling.

She thanked Kenyans, security personnel, court officiasls and journalists for their patience in the petition process.

She said the petition has been taxing on the judges because they have been sitting as early as 9am and late into the night.

Raila Odinga, the Coalition for Reforms and Democracy is seeking to overturn through the Supreme Court announcement made on March 9 by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) declaring Uhuru Kenyatta of Jubilee Coalition president elect. Odinga moved to court to challenge the announcement citing several anomalies that could have not produced clear winner in the first round.

IEBC through its lawyers have already responded to the claims during court proceedings that ended Friday. Kenyans are waiting for the last word from Supreme Court team led by Chief Justice Willy Mutunga

Mutunga earlier tweeted in his account saying “The Supreme Court will deliver its decision NOT LATER than 5pm”
