NASA Leaders Declare They Will Challenge President Uhuru Kenyatta's Reelection in Court

The National Super Alliance (NASA) has announced its next course of action days after rejecting the presidential results of last week’s General Election.

Speaking at Okoa Kenya Offices in Lavington, Nairobi, NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga has said they are moving to the Supreme court to challenge President Uhuru Kenyatta's win.

"We have now decided to move to the supreme court and lay in front of the world the making of a computer generated elections," part of the NASA statement titled: "Kenyans say no to computer generated leaders", read in part.

"We will show how they shamelessly cooked results from non-existent polling stations and fake un-gazetted Presiding and Returning officers. They gave figures from non-existent Forms 34A and 34B.

 "We will NOT accept and move on," Raila affirmed.

Last week, NASA leaders had declared that they would not go to court to dispute the presidential results. Odinga, however, noted that their decision was changed by the recent raid on AfriCOG and the Kenya Human Rights Commission.

"We act on behalf of those who have been blocked from seeking redress in courts such as the sustained clampdown on the civil society that has attempted to go to court. NASA wants to show the world what transpired in the fraud," the NASA Leader highlighted.

The Opposition Chief noted that for the 3rd election in a row, the people were denied their voice with the person who has lost being declared the winner. He pointed the actions by the state to unleash unprecedented violence against NASA supporters in their homes.

"The police have shot, bludgeoned, and cut short the lives of innocents like infant Baby Samantha Pendo at six months and Stephanie Moraa Nyarang’i a young girl of 9 years using crude weapons and live bullets," Odinga expressed.

"We Kenyans will not let such impunity continue any longer. We have the right, and indeed the high responsibility to defend the Constitution and the people’s will," he added.

The NASA Leader finally noted that the opposition was giving the Supreme Court a second chance to redeem itself.

"The Court can use this chance to redeem itself, or, like in 2013, it can compound the problems we face as a country," he stated.
