[CFC International Case Law] In 2017, a presidential election was held in Kenya, and the incumbent president was declared re-elected. However, the opposition party filed a lawsuit, claiming there were serious issues with the vote count transmission process and the election procedures. In response, the Supreme Court of Kenya determined that the Election Commission had not fully complied with the procedures required by the Constitution and election laws, and declared the presidential election results null and void. It also ordered a re-election to be held within 60 days. This is considered a representative case in African history where the election of an incumbent president was invalidated by a court ruling.
