Anybody knows why other presidential candidates were locked out. I hope Chebukati has a strong legal basis to do so otherwise he is just inviting another time wasting law suit.Why the HELL would he do that? If true, evidence of this before a court tomorrow should yield tangible results in my very HUMBLE opinion. I mean we've gone past pretenses here and straight into "mtado?" territory....
Scok has not released full ruling and Chebukati is busy trying to organize rerun. We still don't have full report on servers, we do not know who gave chirchir Iebc servers access. We do not know who was logging in as Chebukati. ...at this point NASA through its lawyer they can even hire miguna should come out and say until what went wrong with iebc is fixed we will not take part in those election because iebc is begging for chaos and loss of life.100% agreed. Look, we already know what people involved are capable of. No point in legitimizing it.

Oh, so NASA was involved? I thought the claim was that they met Jubilee alone.I am not sure what this is about? Is there a link I am missing somewhere?
Never mind. If this goes to court, Chebukati will be forced to allow other candidates. At a minimum those candidates that ran in the nullified election.
That aside, it's not clear what Ekuru Aukot hopes to accomplish by running.

Yes, it's a fresh election. Not a round two. I think Chebukati is confusing those two.Oh, so NASA was involved? I thought the claim was that they met Jubilee alone.I am not sure what this is about? Is there a link I am missing somewhere?

Yes. It looks like IEBC is treating all the other parties as irrelevant. I mean these guys paid like a million bucks to run. So there is probably going to be some court cases and reversals. I prefer the other parties to stay out. But it has to be through a legal process.

could it be because they conceded and did not challenge. I am sure he consulted with his lawyers. I cannot wait for the legal explanation but I do not think he is confusing a re-run from new elections.What would concessions have to do with anything? IEBC is not there to pull an "estoppel" on anyone. Concessions mean the individuals believed the elections were free and fair. The SCOK has now corrected that misperception. So how or why should this affect anyone? I don't get it. This concession argument makes no sense to me. The law was different when all these concessions were made.Yes, it's a fresh election.

Jubilee is afraid Raila will tosha someone else win and then undertake constitutional changes to institute Parliamentary democracy and dump the executive presidency.In which paliament, the one that jubilee controls?

Based on 2013 Supreme Court Ruling
Thanks Higgins. Wow! So its the 2013 decision. Everything in me disagrees with that reasoning. If the court found that the elections were not properly conducted per the law so that it was invalid as it now has, why should other candidates be barred from participating in one that is properly conducted?
EDIT: Actually, no: It apparently is a constitutional provision, not only the 2013 decision. It's basically a run-off. Perhaps it was meant to ensure we wouldn't have three elections in one year. But it doesn't make sense to me. Shouldn't a credible election be the interests of everyone?
I am thinking of their reconciling of the meaning of "fresh" elections in the constitution. I didn't even realize there was a whole debate about that in 2013. I'm gonna re-read the provisions for myself absent the SCOK interpretation and see if I can come up with a different way to understand that term and how it has been used.Thanks Higgins. Wow!

I'm not entirely sure about that one. To my mind, your original question is worth debating.

Will Aukot challenge it at Supreme Court or what? Lower cannot overrule the Supreme Court
In any case Aukot had no value. He should let us have re-run of Odinga and Uhuru - so we can close this sad chapter of Raila Odinga with finality. SC argument that re-run is btw two candidates doesn't make much sense - what if petitioner is non-candidate.
