What this means

The index files this text under article 140 of the Constitution of Kenya.
The passage runs to about 71 words.

The row’s stored title is a body fragment, not a heading (“(1) A person may file a petition in the Supreme Court to challenge the election of the President-elect within seven days after”), so it is not used as the provision’s title here.

The index gives this passage an article number but stores a body fragment where a heading would be, so the number could not be cross-checked against the text. Check it against the official Constitution before relying on it in a citation.

No rights vocabulary from our fixed word list appears in this passage, so no plain-language reading is offered for it.

This is a mechanical reading aid generated from the text above by matching words in it. It is not legal advice, not a lawyer’s interpretation, and not a substitute for the provision itself.
