Supreme Court career

When the first round of the presidential election took place on March 4, 2013, it resulted in the two frontrunners, Uhuru of Jubilee and Raila of CORD, clinching 50.6% and 43.7% of the vote respectively. Uhuru Kenyatta was declared the president-elect of Kenya by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission . Raila Odinga challenged this in the Supreme Court of Kenya . Wanjala was one of the six judges who dismissed the petition on March 30, 2013 . The highly awaited verdict, given amid great tension in the country, was rendered in favour of Uhuru Kenyatta and was unanimous.
In September 2017, he was one of four judges who voted to nullify President Uhuru Kenyatta's win in the August 2017 presidential election.[6]
On September 5, he was one of the judges of the Supreme Court Of Kenya to uphold the election of Dr. William Samoei Ruto as the president-elect of Kenya where Raila (the Petitioner) was against his win.[7]
