Former Chief Justice David Maraga has revealed the intense pressure and threats he and his family faced after nullifying Uhuru Kenyatta's 2017 presidential election win. He recounted these harrowing moments during an interview on Oga Obinna TV, emphasizing the heavy criticism and abuse he received despite basing his ruling on constitutional requirements and evidence.

• Maraga, who is eying the presidency in 2027, described verbal threats but confirmed no physical assault occurred.
• The former CJ highlighted Uhuru Kenyatta's "revisit" comment as an additional source of fear for his family.
• The ruling in September 2017 by four out of six Supreme Court judges was Africa's first overturning of a presidential election, ordering fresh elections within 60 days.
