Hours before the deadline, two petitions have been filed in Kenya’s Supreme Court challenging President Uhuru Kenyatta’s re-election in a repeat election which the main opposition group boycotted.

The country’s Supreme Court, that anulled the August poll, also won by Kenyatta, has until next Tuesday to rule.

Kura Yangu Sauti Yangu, which is Swahili for My Vote My Voice, is a coalition of rights groups and civil society activists that  filed the petition to challenge the election.

Earlier, former politician politician Harun Mwau also filed a petition.

Kenyatta’s August re-election was nullified by the Supreme Court on September 1 after the main opposition leader Raila Odinga petitioned the court saying the election was fraudulent.

The Court found irregularities committed the electoral commission.

Odinga boycotted the repeat election ordered by the court.
