#Kenya's Court of Appeal dismissed an election petition appeal in full, leaving the High Court's 2017 judgment in favour of the respondents undisturbed.
What this practically means
#Executive summary
#This is a brief, unreasoned judgment of the Court of Appeal at Nairobi (Nambuye, Musinga and Gatembu Kairu, JJA) in Civil Appeal No. 164 of 2017, an appeal by Pamela Awuor Oyoo against the judgment and decree of the High Court of Kenya at Nairobi (Kimaru, J) dated 1st June, 2017 in Election Petition No. 88 of 2017. The respondents were the Orange Democratic Movement, Victor Rodgers Ochieng and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission. The appeal was argued on 21st June, 2017, and the court delivered its operative orders on 23rd June, 2017, dismissing the appeal in its entirety and ordering each party to bear its own costs. Unusually, the court stated that its reasons would be given on 28th July, 2017; those reasons are not contained in the copy of the judgment analysed, which records only the coram, the submissions having been considered, and the final orders. Consequently, the decision below stands undisturbed and the Court of Appeal's reasoning, the issues it framed, and any authorities it relied upon cannot be ascertained from this text. No statute or case is cited in the copy supplied, no separate or dissenting opinions appear, and the bench was unanimous. The binding effect of this judgment lies in its dismissal of the appeal, leaving the High Court's judgment in Election Petition No. 88 of 2017 intact.
