Supreme Court rulings of both 2013 and 2017 reinforces Raila Odinga’s quest to have electoral reforms ahead of October 17th elections, says lawyer Otiende Amollo.

Already, Odinga has launched a campaign that targets a host of IEBC officials mainly from the secretariat, who he accuses of bungling August 8 elections.

At an interview with KTN on Sunday, Amollo, a lead lawyer in Raila Odinga’s successful Supreme Court cases, said the opposition had a lot of option to force the IEBC officials out.

“Article 37 of the constitution allows us to picket and demonstrate to force for an action. There is also a provision for secession,” said the Rarieda MP.

He added:”But we have gaps in Supreme Court rulings that can make them respect the rule of law and that is what we shall do if they can’t accept the conditions.”

Critical analysis of the Supreme Court rulings by lawyer Kibe Mungai identifies gaps that Odinga can use to force a constitutional crisis.

For instance, the 2013 ruling dictates that a fresh election must be held between Uhuru Kenyatta and Odinga and a boycott by any would lead to an inevitable constitutional crisis.
