Only five judges appeared to give details on the NASA petition at the Supreme Court on Wednesday.
Justice Smokin Wanjala has travelled.
"We are five and the case was heard by six judges...Wanjala had to travel out of the country but he has signed the majority judgement," said president and Chief Justice David Maraga.
Maraga further requested the court to allow him to skip some parts in the judgement to save time.
"The judgement is quite long...we propose to skip some parts. But you will get copies immediately we get out of here," he said.
"...we don't need to read the entire descriptive part of it. If we do so we can get out of here even at 6pm."
Police have sealed off roads surrounding the top court.
Kenyans are anxious to find out whether the vote was voided on procedural grounds, as the court said in its brief September 1 ruling, that some tallying sheets were not signed or officially stamped.
The public also wants to know whether there was evidence of systematic rigging.
On Tuesday, Maraga complained that IG Joseph Boinnet had ignored their calls to beef up their security.
But police are now turning away pedestrians and motorists near the court and have blocked roads in the area.
