- Election results were marred by irregularities and illegalities.

- Fresh Elections to be conducted within two months.

The result of the August 8th Presidential elections in Kenya has been annulled by the Supreme Court in Nairobi.

"The declaration [of Kenyatta's win] is invalid, null and void," said Judge David Maraga, announcing the verdict of four out of the six judges.

In a national address following the court decision, Kenyatta said that while he "personally disagrees" with the ruling, he will "respect it, as much as I disagree with it".

"It is important to respect the rule of law ... we are ready to go back again to the people with the same agenda," he said as he appealed for calm.  

With no precedent like this, Kenyans are somewhat shocked and pleased to know that their voices can be heard and that they hold the power.
