Nyamira Governor John Nyagarama has applauded the Supreme Court decision to uphold the petition filed by NASA Presidential candidate Raila Odinga as noble and a precedent in the whole of the African continent.
The Governor hailed the decision as a land mark ruling and said that all elected leaders from the County will rally voters and make sure that the NASA principal wins the election.
“Following the ruling of the Supreme Court we want to thank the Judges at the Supreme Court for the bold move adding that the County Executive with the entire County assembly will ensure that we rally voters for Raila Odinga’s election as President,” said the governor
The six Judge bench nullified President Uhuru Kenyatta’s reelection and ordered a fresh Presidential poll in 60 days.
Chief Justice David Maraga said the IEBC committed various illegalities that affected the integrity of the poll.
The petition was filed by NASA Presidential candidate, Raila Odinga and his running mate, Stephen Kalonzo Musyoka on August 18, 2017.
The governor however faulted with Jubilee leaders for harassing Maraga and called upon them to embrace the law.
“We are supporting the court rulling and let Uhuru and his crew know that the country is bigger than them” he added
