Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Former chairperson of Law Society of Kenya Nelson Havi has called on the Azimio leader Raila Odinga\u2019s high-powered lawyers to give a case worth a fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cTomorrow ( Monday) is the deadline for filing the Presidential Election Petition at the Supreme Court. Jackson Awele; Prof Ben Sihanya; and Ochieng Oginga, give us a case worth a historic fight as was BBI,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

On Monday, IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati declared Ruto the President-elect after he defeated Raila and two other candidates in the poll on August 9.<\/p>\n

He declared Ruto the winner with 7,176,141 votes, representing 50.49 per cent of the votes cast, against Raila\u2019s 6,942,930 votes, or 48.85 per cent of the votes cast.<\/p>\n

However, Raila rejected the declaration and promised a battle with Chebukati whom he accused of mishandling the elections. He declared the IEBC chairman’s figures “null and void”.<\/p>\n

Laywers Jackson Awele, Prof Ben Sihanya; and Ochieng Oginga are believed to be part of the 30 formidable legal minds representing Raila at the Supreme Court.<\/p>\n

Lawyer Jackson Awele, one of the star lawyers in the 2017 case, is coordinating the team.<\/p>\n

He is renowned for their drafting skills which are understood to be crucial in framing the questions the team will pursue while arguing the case.<\/p>\n

Awele\u2019s law firm was central in the 2017 election petition and his office was the focal point of coordination of filing and correspondence.<\/p>\n

Shihanya is a Constitutional scholar who will attempt to save Raila\u2019s political future.<\/p>\n

Since last week, Havi has been making statements on how he is eagerly waiting for Raila at the Supreme Court when he files a petition to challenge Ruto\u2019s victory.<\/p>\n

He said he was ready to challenge Azimio should they file that petition.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis will be the shortest battle to fight in the Supreme Court. I am waiting for them,\u201d Havi said.<\/p>\n

He argued that should Azimio team file the petition, then they will use their very own arguments on the quorum of the Independent Electoral and Boundary Commission (IEBC) and the court\u2019s determination in the same way they did in the Building Bridges Initiative (BBI).<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are ready for them at the Supreme Court. In fact, we will use their own arguments on the quorum of IEBC and the Court\u2019s determination on the same in the BBI case,\u201d Havi added.<\/p>\n
