The mention of the presidential petition filed by the National Super Alliance (NASA) at the Supreme court has kicked off.
The parties involved who include the President Uhuru Kenyatta, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati, and NASA have appeared before Supreme Court Registrar Esther Nyaiyaki.
The parties were all been directed to file their list of contested and non-contested issues.
The Jubilee Party says it has five issues for determination, NASA has listed 28 issues to be addressed by the court while IEBC has two.
According to IEBC's Lawyer Paul Muite, the electoral body's issues include whether Uhuru Kenyatta was validly elected and declared the winner and the reliefs to be granted by the Supreme Court.
Some of the issues that NASA has listed include; whether IEBC had received all forms 34A, 34B and 34C before announcing the final presidential results.
The Opposition also wants to know whether IEBC in any manner changed, altered or adjusted any of the prescribed forms 34A, 34B and 34C during or subsequent to the elections date.
NASA further questions if IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati's act of declaring President Kenyatta as the winner of the 2017 presidential elections violated the provision of Articles 1, 38, 81 and 138 (4) of the Constitution and is, therefore, null and void.
They also want to know whether IEBC, Mr Chebulati, Kenyatta or their agents or employees committed any malpractices, misconduct, corruption actions, irregularity, acts of intimidation, improper influence or other actions or omissions contrary to election law.
NASA has also enquired on the exact number of the rejected votes in the 2017 presidential elections.
