THE 2013 GENERAL ELECTION PETITIONS.

THE 2013 GENERAL ELECTIONS    

      Just after the concluded general elections, the CORD coalition has decided to seek the supreme court's intervention as they were not satisfied with the election process citing that it was not free and fair and thus the IEBC should not have declared Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta as the Elect-President. the coalition's flagbearer, the Rt. Hon. Prime Minister Raila Amollo Odinga has stated clearly that they will not be intimidated and neither will they go to streets but will instead seek the courts intervention and will accept whatevet the outcome of the ruling will be.

      The CORD alliance has presented its petition to the supreme court and is to be heard by six judges including the chief justice Willy Mutunga. they have also presented a petition in the High Court seeking to acquire the documents used by the IEBC in the election process and also from the Safaricom and the High court had made a rulling in their favour and they now have the documents from the IEBC and from the Safaricom service provider.

     As this goes on, Uhuru Kenyatta and William Ruto has received praise from other citizens as well as from other nations and from other presidential candidates who contested in the elections. However, Uhuru Kenyatta has received a message from the President of the republic of Botswana, His Excellency Hon Ian Khama, this morning through the Botswana foreign affairs minister that he is not welcomed in Botswana if he refuses to coperate with the ICC.The two have however told the Prime Minister to concede defeat and work together but the CORD alliance has stated clearly that they are not suing the JUBILEE Coalition in court but they are suing the IEBC led by their cahirman Isack Hassan and James Oswago as the C.E.O.

     The Alliance appointed a ten-legal man team comprising senior lawyers in the nation to present a petition on behalf of the Prime Minister chalenging the election of JUBILEE presidential candidate  Uhuru Kenyatta as Kenya' fourth president at the supreme court. The team is led by George Oraro who represented Henry Kosgey at the Hague,senior counsels Mutula Kilonzo and James Orengo, Ababu Namwamba, Amos Wako, Gitobu Imanyara, Pheroze Norwojee, Ambrose Rachier, Chacha Odera and Paul Mwangi.
