Mutahi Ngunyi has reacted to the Supreme Court ruling to have a repeat election after what was termed as an election marred by irregularities.In a Tweet posted shortly after Chief Justice David Maraga declared the nullification of President Uhuru Kenyatta's win, the analyst claimed to have predicted the outcome a month prior.
He added that the election set to be conducted in 60 days time could stretch to next year.
Mutahi shared a link to one episode from his weekly forum,The Fifth Estate, titled Why We Should Vote Uhuru or Raila Decisively.
In the video, Mutahi Ngunyi along with his students made the assertion that the earliest we can swear in the President is November 14.
They went further to state that the swearing-in could even be pushed to December 12 or February 13, 2018, if the August 8 vote was not made decisively for President Kenyatta.
I have said in the past that our Constitutions are only made in a time of crisis. If made in the absence of a crisis, they will precipitate a crisis.
"Put differently, our Constitution was not made in time of crisis and as a result, it will precipitate a crisis. That if we follow the rigid timelines of this Constitution after August 8, we will have a crisis," Ngunyi had predicted.
Ngunyi had urged President Kenyatta to consider amending the Constitution, in the case that he was sworn in and adopt a Constitutional consensus that would co-opt the National Super Alliance (NASA) into government.
If Uhuru wins decisively, he must return to the Constitutional consensus of 2007. That's the only way to unite the country.
"He must abandon the Ferrari presidency and invite NASA into government but as he does so, he must leave Raila Odinga out of it," Ngunyi recommended.
Here is the video of his assessment.
