Controversial city-based lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi has happily reacted to the nullification of Machakos Governor Dr Alfred Mutua 's victory by the court of appeal on Friday.
Through his official Twitter handle, the flamboyant lawyer expressed joy over the ruling of the court, maintaining that it was one of the best cases he prosecuted.
“Very happy for my client Hon Wavinya Ndeti for her victory…one of the best cases I prosecuted at the Court of Appeal,” wrote the Senior Counsel on his official Twitter page.
While nullifying the Governor's victory, the Judge Justice Ouko asserted that the IEBC did not conduct the Machakos gubernatorial contest in accordance with the constitution.
However, the excitement of the celebrated lawyer on the nullification of the Governor's victory has stirred mixed reactions among sections of Garissa residents who shared their thoughts on the matter.
Kevin Kalonzo said, " Mutua does not need the endorsement of Lawyer Ahmed Nasir to re-clinch his seat. The Lawyer is not a voter in Machakos and cannot determine the results of the elections."
David Musyoka commented," Mutua will come back because of his track record. So Ahmednasir is only jealous of the elevation of the governor politically."
Abzalom Mwenza said," Am not happy with the ruling of the court of the appeal. However, Mutua will come back so that his enemies could see his political prosperity. "
Lydia Kelvin opined," We know that Mutua has several enemies like this man your saying, but we will prove them wrong in the event of a by-election in Machakos."
Eric Nyangau said," Ahmednasir is a bitter man because Mutua refused to have him in the case, and by the way, the lawyer is not even a voter in Machakos so he better mind his own businesses."
