Operations at the Mombasa Law Courts were disrupted by power blackouts forcing some judges to adjourn cases.
Courts that were most affected by the power outages were the High Court and Chief Magistrate's Court, which are in the basement.
Justice Festus Azangalala had to adjourn an election petition challenging the election of Bura constituency MP, Mr Abdinassir Nuh, twice due to the power blackout.
The Executive Officer of the Mombasa Law Courts, Mr Samuel Karanja, however, announced that the petition would be moved to the commercial court situated metres away, to avoid interruptions.
Earlier, when the blackout occurred, the court orderlies brought a lantern but lawyer Lumatete Muchai, who appears for the ECK, said it was dim and could not be used.
The power later came back and the judge resumed but was again interrupted a few minutes later by another blackout.
