State House official Dennis Itumbi has revealed what is
likely to happen after tomorrow's full judgment on the August 8 presidential
election petition at 10am.
Itumbi disclosed that after the ruling the election date
will most likely be moved from the earlier announced date of October 17 to a
later day, most likely October 26.
Tomorrow, Supreme Court Ruling at 10am. Prediction: Election date will change " due to the ruling" #ThePeopleAreSupreme— Dennis Itumbi (@OleItumbi) September 19, 2017
He then tweeted that the Jubilee administration did not have
a problem with a change of date.
"26th Oct, 2017 is a good date. We can vote as we sing
Happy Birthday to Uhuru Kenyatta," Itumbi tweeted.
October 26th coincidentally happens to be President Uhuru
Kenyatta's birthday.
No problem with change of date, 26th Oct, 2017 is a good date. We can vote as we sing Happy Birthday to @UKenyatta #ThePeopleAreSupreme— Dennis Itumbi (@OleItumbi) September 19, 2017
The Supreme Court's Registrar said on Tuesday that the
delivery will begin at 10am on Wednesday.
Four of the seven Supreme Court judges on September 1st
nullified President Uhuru Kenyatta's victory citing irregularities and
illegalities in the electoral process.
"The IEBC failed, neglected or refused to conduct the
presidential election in a manner consistent with the dictates of the
constitution," the judges ruled.
During the verdict, the judges did not give a detailed
judgment but said all the issues would be elaborated at a later date within the
21 days as required by law.
On Tuesday, Jubilee supporters demonstrated outside the
Supreme Court following a petition filed against Deputy Chief Justice Philomena
Mwilu and Supreme Court Judge Isaac Lenaola.
The petition filed by the Angaza Empowerment Network, accused the judges of being in contact with lawyers representing NASA leader Raila Odinga during the hearing of case challenging President Kenyatta’s win in the August 8 election.
