Azimio La Umoja One Kenya Coalition Party presidential running mate Martha Karua has stated the position of her side ahead of the Supreme Court judgement on Monday, September 5.
With her principal Raila Odinga, Karua filed an election at the apex court challenging president-elect William Ruto's victory.
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) declared Ruto the winner of the presidential vote after garnering over 7.1 million votes, against Raila's 6.9 million.
The Azimio duo however took to the Supreme Court to challenge Ruto's win.
The bench led by Chief Justice Martha Koome presided over the hearing of the petition and have now retreated to prepare the verdict.

Ahead of the judgment, Karua says her team will welcome the verdict regardless of its nature.
"When the verdict is out, we all respect that. We want to maintain peace but for this to be achieved there must be justice because peace without justice is not sustainable," she said.
She is however optimistic that the apex court's determination on the anti-Ruto petition will favour its sponsors.
After a 14-day hearing of the petition, the verdict of the court is limited to a number of conclusions including; dismissing the election petition or invalidating the declaration of the president-elect by the IEBC.
The decision of the court shall be final.
