NASA to React to Supreme Court Ruling After 5 Days

The National Super Alliance (NASA) has directed that it will provide a way forward in five days after the Supreme Court upheld President Uhuru Kenyatta's win in the repeat October election.

After the ruling, NASA Head of Secretariat, Norman Magaya, maintained that the election was a sham and promised to give the next course of action for the opposition coalition.

"We can see it before it happens. Refused to validate a sham election on 26.10.17 and refused to legitimize the charade through SCOK. We remain masters of our own destiny. In 5 days we will get there," he tweeted on Monday morning.

On his part, Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) Director of communications, Philip Etale, urged all the NASA supporters to remain calm hinting that the opposition coalition would push agendas it had already initiated such as the People's Assemblies and the secession debate.

"NASA supporters across the country are advised to remain calm and not to react to any form of provocation by our opponents. Be calm, still, focused and wait for the way forward from the NASA leadership," he stated.

On Monday morning, the Supreme Court issued a summary ruling upholding President Kenyatta’s re-election in the October 26 poll.

In the judgment, Chief Justice David Maraga stated that the petitions were not merited and were thus dismissed.

Maraga noted that the two presidential election petitions were consolidated and heard together because of time pressure and that the judges had arrived at the final decision unanimously.
