The court said its agents would check whether the number of votes was higher than the number of registered voters. The BBC's Frenny Jowi in the Kenyan capital, Nairobi, says while only 22 polling stations are affected, the ruling is significant because of the narrow margin by which Mr Kenyatta avoided a run-off. He won by 50.07% to Mr Odinga's 43.31%. Under Kenyan law, the court has until Saturday to decide whether or not to confirm Mr Kenyatta's victory.[/quote]
