NASA's numerous court cases could end up affecting voter turnout in their strongholds badly, Political analyst Mark Bichachi has said.Bichachi has told Citizen TV that Nasa has so far filed more than 32 electoral cases which gives their supporters mixed signals while blowing them into confusion."Nasa is telling its supporters to come out in large numbers to vote for their presidential candidate and then on other hand they are busy on the courts showing their supporters that they do not trust the IEBC to deliver a free and fair election," said Bichachi on Tuesday during Citizen Extra."This gives supporters a reason to stay away from the election because they will ask themselves why participate in a compromised process? After all my vote won't count," he added.The analyst challenged Nasa to come out clearly and state whether 'they really' want to be part of August 8 polls or not, saying that Kenyans are fatigued by the uncertainty the court cases are creating on the fate of August 8 election.He noted that the sooner Nasa ends the legal battles the better it will be for them arguing that this election will be solely be defined on voter turnout which Nasa is 'busy discouraging through court games'."Most of their grievances have been addressed since the removal of the IEBC commissioners. Continued court cases can now only erode their supporters' confidence in IEBC process, question NASA's preparedness and the end result will be voters' apathy," he said.This comes in as Nasa says that elections should be postponed if IEBC  E-systems fail.Photo/NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga addresses supporters during campaigns in Embakasi constituency, Nairobi, July 14, 2017.
