NASA PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE RAILA ODINGA MOVES BACK TO THE SUPREME COURT IN NEW CASE

NASA Leader Raila Odinga has moved back to the Supreme Court in a new petition challenging IEBC's decision to limit the upcoming Presidential election to only two candidates.

Mr Odinga, who joined the application filed by Third Way Alliance Leader Ekuru Aukot as an interested party, noted that it was unfair for the other candidates to be locked out of the repeat Presidential election.

In his argument, Raila noted that locking out the other candidates amounted to discrimination. President Uhuru Kenyatta, Prof Michael Wainaina, Attorney-General Githu Muigai and the Law Society of Kenya (LSK) have also been enlisted as other interested parties.

President Kenyatta on his part challenged the decision to have other candidates included in the repeat poll arguing that the Supreme Court already decided in 2013 that such a repeat election should be a two-horse race.

The Head of State noted that the issue of the other candidates was never raised in the case and thus the 2013 decision that a fresh election should be between two contestants in the case should be upheld.
