The High Court on Wednesday passed another landmark ruling after declaring that Thirdway Alliance party leader Ekuru Aukot and five other candidates in the August 8 polls should be included in the repeat polls by IEBC.

However, political pundits have hypothise that the ruling casts a fresh twist on the likelihood that Kenyans will go to the ballot on October 26 as planned by IEBC.

Here are some of the sentiments raised by Kenyans many focusing on the time required to print fresh ballot papers and reconfiguring the KIEMS kit given the short notice of Odinga's withdrawal.

To Accomadate "Ekuru Aukot" and the other jokers it will take OT MOPHO another 3 weeks to reconfigure the KIEMS kits..no elections on 26

New twist: OT-Morpho had claimed that it had configured KIEMS to only include Uhuru and Raila Odinga. Now they'll have to include everyone!

Japheth Kaluyu and the rest should join the race to make it difficult for IEBC to re-print the ballot papers and configure KIEMS kits!!

Lol! KIEMS had been configured without Mr Katiba from Turkana

Let's take them round in cycles till January..reconfigure the kiems then Ekuru withdraws afterwards.sad & expensive to deal with Iebc quacks

OT-Morpho said it required more time to configure KIEMS with Rao and Uhuru bringing in the rest will mean OT-Morpho be added time

We paid OT-Morpho 2bil to program 2 names into KIEMS. After Ekuro Aukot case we'll pay 2bil more to reverse it! #StupidConstitution

Pathetic! KIEMS is just a voter identifier system and not a voting system.

Tuachane na story ya KIEMS kwanza and 26th OCT. what happened in town today was so wrong. Goons to over the cbd after Nasa demo.

According to recent iebc plea, it will take 21 days to configure kiems if other candidates are allowed in the race!#AukotCase
