[Photo: nation.co.ke]Rarieda MP and one of NASA's lead lawyers Otiende Amolo has poked holes on the just concluded repeat presidential poll where President Uhuru Kenyatta was declared the winner with over 98 percent of total cast votes.This is after his closest challenger Raila Odinga of NASA (NRM) withdrew from the October 26 exercise, saying that IEBC 'refused' to address his so-called 'irreducible minimums'.Amolo, speaking to the Qatar-based Al Jazeera Network on Monday after Kenyatta was declared President-elect, said he can cite 'at least 17 grounds under which they can blow-up the poll at the Supreme Court'."August 8 presidential election which the Kenyan Supreme Court nullified on the basis of irregularities and illegalities was better than what we had on October 26," Omolo said.He added: "The electoral commission was under duress and intimidation by the State that it ended up doing the unimaginable. What we had was not even an election because it was only one candidate competing against himself."Among some grounds Amolo said the 'sham election' would be nullified under include; voter intimidation, electoral violence, no elections in a sizeable part of the country, exaggeration of figures, IEBC acknowledgement of its inadequacies in delivering a credible poll few days before the election, among others he didn't mention.The MP, however, didn't reveal whether NRM will contest Kenyatta's second-time victory in a row at the Supreme Court.Pro-NASA Political analyst Prof Harman Manyora speaking to Citizen TV on Monday before Kenyatta was declared President-elect, urged NASA to 'accept the results and move on'.
"Going to court will yield nothing for NASA. For now, let us admit Jubilee has gotten it and we shall live to fight another day. This country is bigger than anyone of us," Manyora said.
