After the Supreme Court ex-punched the NASA coalition out of the presidential petitions, the coalition is going back to the drawing board to draw the way forward.
The coalition, led by Raila Odinga withdrew from the October 26 presidential polls, citing lack of preparedness form the IEBC to conduct a fair election.
The court on Tuesday kicked out NASA from two presidential petitions’ seeking to challenge president Kenyatta’s win in the October polls.
“It was not our primary or even our secondary obligation to support the claims made by the petitioner because if you look at the petition and the evidence put forth, the petition seems to be well grounded,” asserts Nelson Havi, NASA lawyer.
Odinga is expected in the country on Friday to continue with the coalition’s push for electoral and constitutional reforms.
The secession talk has been gaining momentum in the recent weeks, with leaders allied to the opposition party pushing for the division of the country into two.
Creating peoples’ assemblies is another front that the opposition has been pushing, having succeeded in some areas that are controlled by the NASA coalition.
Meanwhile, the case at the Supreme Court is expected to go on to Friday, with President Kenyatta’s layers insisting the case is a waste of time.
