On October 26, 2017, the Supreme Court of Kenya delivered a landmark ruling, upholding the re-election of President Uhuru Kenyatta.

The six-judge bench unanimously declared Kenyatta the winner, dismissing two petitions that sought to nullify his victory in the October 26 elections.

The polls were boycotted by the main opposition leader, Raila Odinga, who had been a strong contender in the election.

The Supreme Court's ruling marked a significant moment in Kenya's electoral history, with the court's decision being seen as a major boost to Kenyatta's presidency.
