In accordance with the rules of the supreme court, the petition was submitted on Monday, August 22, by Raila's legal team, which was directed by Senior Counsel James Orengo.
According to the 2017 Supreme Court (Presidential Election Petition) Rules, if a petition is filed on the final day for filing, it must be done by 2 p.m. that day.
Daniel Maanzo, an attorney for Azimio, claims that the legal team has already submitted the petition online and will do so by the deadline along with the physical documents.
"We have filed the petition electronically through the e-filing platform as we wait for the physical documents so that the court can ascert the submission.
"We have until 2 p.m but I can assure you that everything is ready. The team is still compiling the paperwork into books and they should be on their way to court any time from now," he stated.
Azimio will have until Tuesday, August 23, to serve the respondents—the president-elect and the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission—after the petition has been filed with the court (IEBC).
The IEBC has four days to submit its responses before the Supreme Court. This will make it possible for the Supreme Court bench to consider the case seven days after it is filed, on Monday, August 29.
The president's petition will be decided on by the seven-judge bench, which is presided over by Chief Justice Martha Koome, by September 4.
“If the Supreme Court determines the election of the President-elect to be invalid, a fresh election shall be held within 60 days after the determination," reads Article 140 (c).
On the other hand, IEBC Has its own lawyers who will represent it at the court they are as follows: former Attorney-General Githu Muigai, Senior Counsel Abdikadir Mohamed, Kamau Karori, Eric Gumbo, Peter Wanyama, and Edwin Mukele
