Executive Summary
In August 2022, the Africa Judges and Jurists Forum deployed a high level observer mission to monitor and observe the proceedings at the Supreme Court of Kenya on the determination of the 2022 presidential election petition. The purpose of overserving these proceedings was for the Mission to assess whether these proceedings were being handled in a manner that adheres to regional and global standards relevant for the handling of election disputes. In particular, the Observer Mission sought to assess whether the Supreme Court handled the proceedings in a manner which adheres to the right to fair hearing for the parties involved in the petition. The Observer Mission did not examine the election process itself, but only confined its review to the manner in which the Supreme Court handled proceedings concerning the hearing and determination of the presidential election petition.
