RAILA ODINGA Responds to Maraga's Ruling. "UHURU is NOT the President of Kenya and Judges were forced to make decisions or face punishment

The National Super Alliance (NASA) has maintained that it does not recognize the Jubilee regime even after the Supreme Court upheld President Uhuru Kenyatta’s October 26 election. The Chief Justice David Maraga while delivering the ruling said the three petitions lacked merit.

Through Raila Odinga’s adviser, Salim Lone, the opposition has said that despite the ruling, Kenyatta’s government remains ‘illegitimate.’

The opposition further claimed that the ruling was made under duress unlike the September 1 verdict that nullied the August 8 presidential election. ”It was a decision taken under duress. We do not condemn the court, we sympathize with it.”
