Details of the 5 moves Raila could make next after disputing Uhuru’s win

- NASA sources have intimated to the media the options Raila has available to him after he rejected the presidential election results.
 - One of the options could be talks with Uhuru after the president-elect sent messengers to Raila on the day he was declared the presidential race winner.
 - Other options are calling for peaceful mass protests and calling for an independent audit of the presidential election results.

  National Super Alliance presidential candidate Raila Odinga is mulling over four options on how to proceed following his rejection of the Tuesday, August 8, presidential election results. Having sworn to never be a presidential candidate again following the disputed election, he said he only wants to show Kenyans and the world what happened and is set to unveil his evidence. According to sources who spoke to local dailies, Raila Odinga has four options available to him, as they firmly ruled out going to court as they did in 2013 and lost the case on technicalities. 
1. The opposition alliance may call for peaceful mass protests. Sources, according to the Daily Nation on Tuesday, August 15, also said the opposition brigade ruled out the chances of Raila conceding defeat.

2. NASA will push for an independent audit of the presidential election.

3. They would file a case at the Supreme Court through a proxy. The Standard on Tuesday, August 15, reported that this could be done through a social group critical of the presidential results According to prior reports, an organization has already filed a case to challenge Uhuru’s re-election.
4. Raila could open back channels for talks with the government as it emerged that President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta sent agents to Raila on the day IEBC declared him the winner.
5. The Standard reported that speculation was also rife that NASA could declare their parallel results that show Raila won the election, and call for mass action. Raila and his co-leaders are expected to give their supporters a road map of their next move on Monday, August 15, as well. As provisional results begun streaming in on Tuesday, August, the opposition rejected the results, claiming IEBC systems had been hacked and an algorithm introduced to give Uhuru a constant 10% lead over Raila. 
However, according to NASA’s parallel tally, Raila was leading in the race, beating Uhuru by hundreds of thousands of votes.

”In my honest opinion, Raila will be your next president”- Lawyer Ahmednassir tells KTN’s Chris Thairu

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...
