From the decision of the high court, William Ruto is declared the winner of the last presidential election.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>It took several days and long hours of hearings to arrive at the decision rendered this Monday, September 5, 2022 by the Supreme Court. The judges of the high court ruled in favor of William Ruto and confirmed his victory in the presidential election. A verdict issued this Monday by the Supreme Court of Kenya, a respected institution in the country that had decided in 2017 to cancel the presidential election.<\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-le-recours-d-odinga-rejete-d-emblee-par-la-cour\"><strong>Odinga&#8217;s appeal rejected out of hand by the court.<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>The court did not go out of its way to refute all the arguments put forward by the Odinga camp.
