The Supreme Court of Kenya on Tuesday rejected pleas from lawyers of the opposition coalition the National Super Alliance and the ruling Jubilee Party to be joined to the current petition challenging the election of President Uhuru Kenyatta.

That means these two parties cannot be part of the ongoing hearing, but the country’s Attorney General Githu Muigai was admitted as interested party.

Six judges are sitting on the case which is challenging the election victory of Kenyatta in the October 26 re-run presidential poll.

The election was boycotted by the opposition and characterized by violence resulting in some deaths and injuries to protesters.

The opposition leader in Kenya, Raila Odinga has already described the repeat presidential election as a “fraud” and vowed not to recognize Uhuru Kenyatta and his government.

Odinga has said that his party the National Super Alliance (Nasa) would push for the formation of a People Assembly to govern the country until fresh election is held to elect what he called legitimate executive.

Uhuru Kenyatta is expected to be sworn in on Nov. 28.
