Attorney General Githu Muigai has warned against cancelling the ballot paper printing tender awarded to Dubai- based firm Al Ghurair.
According to Muigai, the country is likely to plunge into a constitutional crisis should the court cancel the tender.
Muigai told court on Friday that cancelling the tender will automatically interfere with the election timelines.
He said the move will lead to to the postponement of the August 8 polls.
He added that in case of such a move a caretaker government will have to be put in place.
He further warned that the move will lead to chaos.
In a case which was heard for a marathon seven hours before Justices Joel Ngugi, George Odunga and John Mativo, both Jubilee and IEBC opposed the petition by Nasa.
The National Super Alliance wants the tender cancelled on grounds that President Uhuru Kenyatta - Jubilee candidate, has links to the Dubai-based firm.
Their claim is that Jubilee Party is working with the firm, which is printing the presidential ballot papers, to rig the August election in favour of its candidate.
