He will be in for rude shock this time round. IEBC has been ordered to conduct election by SC so there's no way they arent going to conduct an election, even sham election. Nasa will then go to court to invalidate the election and they'll look like a fools. Court will ask why didn't you participate? NASA: iebc was not restructured. At that point he will be reminded of the just concluded ruling which gave iebc clean bill of health. Petition dismissed with costs. What happens if IEBC is unable to conduct elections in some areas due to violence and unrest? Will it invalidate the result of the election? systematic violence not possible unless it is organized. No politician will organize such scale of violence due to fear of ICC and visa bans. So election will take place Uhuru just needs to get more than 25% in 24counties. And he should ask his voters to come out in droves and exceed 50% of registered voters. Against that there's no defence There is no such requirement If the winner can reach that threshold, a reasonable court will find that there was no way aliar could have gotten 50% + 1 even if he fully participated. On the contrary, if aliar succeeds in dampening turnout even in jubilee zones and only say 2million voters turn out, it can be argued that nobody knows who the other 17m + voters would have chosen hence casting doubts if the winner has popular mandate I don't think the court can anull an election because of low voter turnout, actually with ballot stuffing a thing of the past, the next thing is to make your opponents voters turnout in very low numbers (peacefully that is) eg free beer To Each His Own
