a great piece indeed. Especially love this comment by one of the readers.

A point that many people fail to see is that Odinga went to the courts in order to manage the expectations of his supporters. He knew he had lost it, but accepting loss there and then would have been in bad taste to his supporters. Remember a lot of peoples invested, some even fainted when they learnt that he had lost.So how do you manage all those broken dreams? You go to court give them hope things may change while at the same time defeat will be sinking in their psychology thus translating into acceptance. This was the best way he could have managed the situation-because he knew from the word go he had lost the game-the day he dumped RUTO.
