Police and protesters outside the Supreme Court have reportedly been sent running for cover after the arrival of some angry bees.

A local reporter says protesters disturbed a nearby hive.

Kenya's Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu has said the IEBC's failure to follow court orders suggested opposition claims of hacking could be true.

"The IEBC's disobedience in critical areas leaves the court no option but to accept the petitioners' claims that the IEBC IT systems were infiltrated and compromised and data interfered with.

Alternatively, she said, IEBC officials might either have deliberately tampered with data or refused to accept that they had "bungled" vote transmission.

"IEBC officials themselves interfered with data or refused to accept that they had bungled the transmission systems and were unable to transmit data," she said.

Kenya's Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu says Kenya's electoral commission refused their request to hand over details of their IT system:

“IEBC refused to give information in internal firewall, saying it compromised their security," she said.

The court disagreed with this, she added.

Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu has criticised the electoral commission - the IEBC - over its failure to follow the law to the letter during the transmission of results.

The IEBC had said that there would be delay in the electronic transmission of results from more than 10,000 polling stations because they were in areas without 3G and 4G network coverage.

The results from some polling stations had not been relayed when President Uhuru Kenyatta was declared the winner, Judge Mwilu said.

This led the opposition to question the results that IEBC had used to call the election result.

Ms Mwilu said that "the failure of network is not failure of technology."

She added that IEBC's failure to adhere to the election laws "was a clear clear violation of the law".

More pictures are coming through of protesters outside Kenya's Supreme Court in Nairobi:

A local journalist is reporting that a scheduled meeting between the election commission, the ruling Jubilee Party and opposition coalition Nasa has been postponed.

The meeting was meant to resolve the ongoing tussle over changes that should be made before the re-run election set for 17 October.

Opposition parties are pushing for several changes including:

• The sacking of electoral commission officials who they accuse of bungling the election
• Pushing back the date of the election. The elections should be held before 1 November
• Re-tendering the printing of ballot papers and the voter verification system

The Daily Nation newspaper has a photo from outside the Supreme Court of a supporter of President Uhuru chanting in front of a group of people supporting the opposition Nasa coalition.

Kenya's Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu is getting very technical about some 10,000 forms from polling stations that appear to not have been transmitted for collation when the final presidential results were announced.

She referred to the process as being "like a matatu" - the notorious Kenyan public minibuses that are known to break all manner of traffic laws:

Ms Mwilu said that the process of transmitting the votes was as important as the final result:

Residents of Mathare - a Nairobi slum that saw clashes after election victory was initially given to President Uhuru Kenyatta - are "anxiously following" the Supreme Court hearing, Kenya's Ghetto Radio reports.

Before explaining the details of why the election was annulled, Kenya's Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu is making the point that there are many factors involved in a legitimate election.

She is quoting Ghana's Chief Justice Georgina Theodora Wood:

"The election process is not confined to the casting of votes on election day. There are a series of other processes," she said.

These include the demarcation of areas into constituencies and registration of voters.

She goes on to say the recording, tallying and transcribing of votes were so "defective and confusing" that Kenyans lost confidence in official results.

Security is tight in Kenya's capital, Nairobi, as the Supreme Court delivers its final judgement.

Police have set up barricades near the court buildings.

This has however not stopped some supporters of opposition coalition Nasa to gather to support the court.

One of them holds a banner saying that the Chief Justice David Maraga should be named the "World Personality of the Year".

Kenya's Deputy Chief Justice Philomena Mwilu is reminding us of the arguments that were made when the petition to annul the election was being argued.

Lawyers for opposition leader Raila Odinga had argued that the electoral commission, the IEBC, "became a law unto itself. It completely subverted the will of the electorate".

The IEBC was alleged to have "failed to ensure that the conduct of the election was simple, accurate, transparent, verifiable, secure and accountable".

The electoral commission's failure was alleged to be "deliberate, systemic and systematic", she added.

One of the four judges who voted to annul the elections is missing from the bench.

Chief Justice David Maraga has told the court that Smokin Wanjala, has travelled out of the country but had added his signature to the final judgment.

Another judge, Mohamed Ibrahim, did not participate in the hearing of the presidential petition because he was taken ill.

The two judges who dissented with the majority verdict are present.

Mr Maraga has said that the judges will only read a summary of their judgments and make copies available.

As the explanation is being given by the Kenyan Supreme Court for annulling last month's election here are the key things we are looking out for:

- Will we get clarity on any supposed wrong-doing in the 8 August election?

- What does this judgment mean for the electoral commission (IEBC)?

- Do changes have to be made before the next election?

- When will the next election be? The proposed date of 17 October is looking less and less feasible.

Judges of Kenya's Supreme court are currently reading their lengthy judgment on why they annulled the election of President Uhuru Kenyatta.

A local TV station is live streaming the event.

Roads leading to the Supreme Court in Kenya have been sealed as it prepares to announce its full reasons for annulling last month's presidential election.

The court ruled three weeks ago that President Uhuru Kenyatta's win was marred by "illegalities and irregularities", following an appeal by his defeated rival, Raila Odinga.

But it has not made clear yet whether it believes there was systematic abuse.

The court ordered that a new vote be held within 60 days - though the French technology firm which supplied the electronic voting system said it would struggle to be ready in time.
