The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission\u2019s results said Ruto, 55, won with 50.49% of the vote against Odinga\u2019s 48.85%.<br \/>\nThis is Odinga\u2019s fifth time running and third time challenging his loss in presidential elections through the Supreme Court, having filed a case after the last two elections in 2013 and 2017. In 2017, the Supreme Court ordered a re-election to be held, which was boycotted by Odinga who again lost to incumbent President Uhuru Kenyatta.<br \/>\n\u201cWe have a strong petition and we\u2019re hopeful that it will go through,\u201d Maanzo told CNN on Monday. \u201cWe\u2019re asking the court to decide if the constitution was followed in declaring the presidential results. If it was not within the constitution, then it is null and void.\u201d<br \/>\nThe Supreme Court has 14 days from Monday to hear Odinga\u2019s case and deliver a verdict. If the seven judges rule in favor of 77-year-old Odinga, they could order a recount of votes, a fresh election, or award Odinga the presidency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NAIROBI Presidential candidate Raila Odinga has formally filed a petition challenging the election results in Kenya\u2019s Supreme Court on Monday, according to one of Odinga\u2019s lawyers, Daniel Maanzo.
