Kenya’s Supreme Court in the dock again as Nasa files petition

Kenya’s opposition leader Raila Odinga and President Uhuru Kenyatta have for the second time taken their duel to the Supreme Court, which now has 14 days to dispense with a presidential petition filed on Friday.

The National Super Alliance (Nasa) has been working with Kura Yangu Sauti Yangu (my vote my voice), a coalition of civil societies, over the past one week to prepare what it called a water-tight petition challenging the re-election of President Kenyatta after the international community persuaded Mr Odinga against resorting to mass action.
