Wajir Governor Mohamed Abdi Mohamud has called for calm among his supporters and residents ahead of the Supreme Court ruling on Friday.
Speaking to journalists at the county offices in Wajir on Wednesday, the Jubilee governor asked locals to remain peaceful and accept the court ruling on Friday whichever way it shall goes.
Governor Mohamud, however, exuded confidence that the apex court will validate his election.
He maintained that his election in the August 8, 2017 general election was fair.
"I am calling on Wajir residents to remain calm and peaceful as we await the Supreme Court ruling," he said.
In a notice by the Deputy Registrar of the Supreme Court on Tuesday, the Chief Justice (CJ) David Maraga-led court will deliver the judgement on Friday at 2.30 PM.
The apex court in an earlier statement had promised to deliver the judgement before Thursday next week.
The Supreme Court dismissed claims that it is delaying the Wajir gubernatorial judgement.
The court said that it is still within the 90 days stipulated for hearing and determining the petition.
Lawyer Ahmednassir Abdullahi had hit out at the apex court accusing it of allegedly delaying the Wajir gubernatorial verdict.
Ahmednassir is representing former Wajir Governor Ahmed Abdullahi in the petition.
Abdullahi petitioned the election of Governor Mohamed Abdi Mohamud on grounds that it was not free and fair.
