Supreme Court judges. [Photo|Courtesy]President Uhuru Kenyatta the opposition schemed a misfortune for the country by 'misleading' the Supreme Court to nullify his victory in the August 8 elections.He said the opposition expected that the Jubilee government would reject the directions by the courts because the election was free, transparent and the victory was clear.“Raila was shocked that we accepted the verdict of the court. He thought we are like him and would reject the decision,” said Uhuru, adding that the decision of the Supreme Court to nullify his victory was very painful, but his anger was now over.The president pointed out that Raila Odinga’s use of the Supreme Court to sabotage his victory was similar to the former Prime Minister’s use of the International Criminal Court to weigh down Jubilee leaders ahead of the 2013 elections.“In 2007, he lost the election and he refused to accept defeat and caused bloodshed. When he got what he wanted (Raila was appointed Prime Minister to stop the post-election violence), he turned around and said Uhuru and Ruto were responsible for the violence."The President said their innocence and prayers by Kenyans ensured that they were cleared of the false charges.“Their is no need for Kenyans to fight one another; the vote is the real truth teller,” said Uhuru, during a campaign rally at Uhuru Park.The Head of State thanked the residents of Nairobi County and other counties in the Nairobi metropolitan (Kiambu, Machakos, Kajiado) for supporting Jubilee and electing Jubilee governors.
