[Photo/The Star]Elgeyo Marakwet Senator Kipchumba Murkomen has claimed that NASA leader Raila Odinga knows that Uhuru won the August 8 polls despite the fact that the Supreme Court declared the win null and void.According to Murkomen, a close study of the online forms 34A's and B's shows that NASA had lost the August 8 polls but Odinga's team can't say it because they relied on minor discrepancies to nullify Uhuru's win.The senator said Odinga and his team had no evidence to back their claims that elections were rigged until they were allowed by the Supreme Court to scrutinise the IEBC servers.
"Even without presenting a shred of evidence to back up any of their claims. However, over the days that followed, and after extraordinary scrutiny, some of the NASA lawyers started noticing some minor discrepancies on the forms that were submitted and uploaded by the IEBC," said Murkomen.
"Nevertheless, it was clear to all that followed the case that, despite these instances, NASA lawyers were not able to show that those irregularities were sufficient to significantly affect the number of votes cast in favor of each of the presidential candidates," he added.
Finally, Murkomen warned that if the Supreme Court ruling will be used as a precedent then Kenyan elections are trading a dangerous road.
"If this verdict becomes a precedent it may become increasingly easy for any losing candidate to willfully and brazenly call for an annulment of the results based on some procedural or bureaucratic irregularities," he said.
"This will play havoc in our system and ensure that we could become enveloped in a never-ending cycle of annulled elections," he added.
