In his petition at Milimani High Court, Omtatah argues that the Kenyan Constitution makes presidential results from 290 constituencies final and binding, with the IEBC chair's role limited to tallying them nationally without changes. He challenges parts of the Elections Act and regulations that allow extra verification at the Bomas of Kenya centre, claiming it leads to delays and lost trust. The move echoes recent calls from figures like Rigathi Gachagua and Kalonzo Musyoka, amid memories of 2022 disputes, as Kenyans eye reforms for fairer polls.
