Raila says that that the lawyers led by Siaya Senator James Orengo did their work well.
The NASA leader observed that Orengo and his colleagues burned the midnight oil to put the petition together and argue it in court.
He said that the larger NASA family and supporters are proud of the work done by the lawyers.
“I want to recognize and appreciate the work done by our lawyers led by James Orengo and all others who participated in the petition,” he said as quoted by the Standard.
Raila dedicated the Supreme Court victory to NASA supporters, saying that the journey to ‘Canaan’ is on course.
The NASA leader appealed to supporters and Kenyans to remain calm. He said that NASA will hit the campaigning road running, adding that he will win in the fresh presidential election with a wider margin.
Raila, however, said that NASA will only participate in the fresh presidential election only if IEBC is ‘cleaned’.
The NASA leader named several IEBC officers who he allegedly conspired to bungle the August 8 presidential election in favour of Jubilee.
The Supreme Court led by Justice David Maraga on Friday court has since nullified President Uhuru Kenyatta's re-election and ordered for fresh presidential election to be conducted in 60 days.
