Senior Counsel Ahmednassir Abdullahi to Chris Thairu, KTN Reporter: “Yes, I don’t refute the fact that I was aligned to Jubilee. It's because they had a transformative manifesto which later degenerated into a rhetoric. They have completely failed. Right from endemic corruption, extrajudicial killings, total disregard, and defilement of the constitution, arrogance, and failure to foster national unity and I don’t have to remind you how they humiliated Raila in Nyeri. I asserted sometimes back that no one can dislodge Uhuru from power because the defunct CORD had been thrown into total disarray, with confusion being the hallmark of their activities. Today as we speak, the opposition is one very cohesive and objective clique of rejuvenated men with oomph and the gravitas to topple Mr. Kenyatta. Do you see the organization, new brains, flexing of financial muscles, sharpened and precise message and the international support that NASA is enjoying? Uhuru’s goose is cooked. A...

I’m writing to you this letter at a time when you seem to be profoundly aggrieved by the manner in which the 2017 electoral process was conducted.

A government of the much downtrodden at the expense of the few rich. Our unwavering hopes were reinvigorated by the technological advancements at the electoral body, which appealed to the whole world that Kenya was flying at a lightning speed to the horizons of democracy.

- Kilifi Governor Amason Kingi outdid himself in ensuring NASA and Raila Odinga collected more votes in the Coast  - Kingi is the only governor in the coast who ensured every seat in his county went to Raila - All the MCA seats in Kilifi, as well as MP positions, went to ODM.

But one ODM governor remains the unsung hero in the bruising race in the Coast region. Kilifi Governor Amason Kingi delivered well for NASA and its leader Raila Odinga in a way that no any...

IEBC says it doesn’t have Forms 34A. These are the basic results documents originating from polling stations. You can’t prepare Form 34B without aggregating Form 34As. The inference is that Form 34Bs upon which Presidential results declaration was made is a sham. IEBC FAILS TO AVAIL REQUISITE FORMS 34B FROM THE CONSTITUENCIES The NASA Presidential Campaign notes with concern that the IEBC has failed and or refused to release and share copies of Forms 34Bs to candidates or their agents three days after the Commission made a declaration of the results.

The said Forms cannot be traced or accessed on the Commissions on line portal. We call upon the Commission to release and share all the constituency Forms 34Bs to party agents. The failure to so share can only lead to a conclusion that the Forms do not exist and the Commission is busy generating fake Form...
