Paul Mwangi: One of the most glaring things is the issue of the 27 constituencies. Dr Ruto knows the importance of this because he purports in his affidavit that those results were read. The affidavits of Mr Chebukati and Prof Guliye is those results were not verified or read.

Mr Mwangi argues that Mr Chebukati has disrespected the Constitution. In terms of deciding who to believe, Mr Chebukati has not had a complaint as to how these four commissioners worked since they got in. However, there are a list of complaints as to how he (Chebukati) handled elections in 2017 and 2022.

Paul Mwangi: Collegiate nature of decision making regarding crucial issues gives integrity to the decision. Very important decisions may require more people to make it. This is even being seen in sports today where important matches have moved away from leaving critical decisions to one referee and now have VAR so that more people can weigh in on a decision.

Paul Mwangi: It is for the commission to tally and verify results. The chair is only to declare.
The requirement to declare does not give the chair powers to tally, to verify or even to reach a decision as to what he is going to declare.
