The High-Level Panel of Eminent Jurists that arrived in Kenya on 28 August 2022 to observe the proceedings of the 2022 presidential election petitions under the aegis of the African Judges and Jurists Forum (AJJF) have completed their mission.
This is the third Trial Observation Mission that the AJJF has carried out in Kenya, having previously observed the 2013 and 2017 presidential election dispute resolution processes. The AJJF also had the opportunity to observe a similar process in Zimbabwe in 2018, where a Supreme Court judge from Kenya was part of the delegation.
The mission would like to commend the Supreme Court for its management of the court process, particularly in light of the complexity of the matter, which was evidenced by the fact that this was the first time it was handling seven presidential petitions, with multiple volumes of evidence, within the 14 days circumscribed by the Constitution.
