Azimio flag bearer Raila Odinga and his legal team has arrived at the Milimani Law Courts to file a petition challenging DP William Ruto’s win.
The team arrived with 39 boxes as exhibits moments before 2pm in line with the Supreme Court rules which dictate that if a petition is submitted on the last day of filing, then it should be done before 2 pm on the said day.
Azimio lawyer Daniel Maanzo however said that the team had earlier already filed an electronic copy of the presidential petition.
