The National Assembly majority leader this will be the case as 14 days will have lapsed since the legislation was passed in Parliament.
Duale told The Star on Tuesday that Uhuru has the options of returning the Bill to Parliament with a memorandum for changes or signing it before Friday, failure of which it automatically takes effect.
This was Uhuru's plan all along. Very clever I must say. Looks like Jubilee has clever lawyers too after all. What's the point? On Wednesday the courts will rule that there will be no election. The same courts can also rule that the new election laws are unconstitutional

WAPO: The Latest: Kenya Supreme Court urged to delay electionsExcerpt:
"Kenya’s Supreme Court is to meet a day before Thursday’s repeat presidential elections to decide whether the polls should go ahead if a credible vote cannot be guaranteed.
The court will hear a case brought by three Kenyans who are urging that the elections be postponed until the electoral commission can hold free and fair elections, as is mandated by the constitution." The letter has been addressed to the High Court. I don't think it's the supreme court hearing the case Americans may not know the difference between supreme and high court.. Question is, who are the presiding judges of the constitutional and judicial review divisions? Justice George Odunga and Justice Roselyn Aburili. Ok. No election on 26th
The IEBC Lawyers should first ask justice Odunga to disqualify himself as he has proved to be biased against IEBC.

I doubt that was the plan. He will sign today or tomorrow. The new elections will be held under the amended elections act.

Is there an instance he has acted reasonable of late? Today in ukambani he reiterated that no elections on 26th.

The rules take effect on 27th, elections are to take place on the 26th. So If Odunga rules to stop elections on 26th, on the 27th the new laws take effect and it will be a new ball game altogether "There are only two emotions in the market, hope & fear.

Ati Chebukati has signed an affidavit supporting the case against Thursday elections... Man, I wish I was reading this in a fictional book. It'd be fun. The intrigues. But now it's me and my country

On one hand, the constitution is clear about the fresh election 60 days,...the original edict was issued by a higher court (so he has no business overturning rulings made above his paygrade) and then there is Mativo with his Orbiter Dicta stuff...you can't make a ruling based on stuff that hasn't happened as regards Chebukati and Akombe's statements,..this isn't the Minority Report,...so,..where is the zero-day exploit going to come from ? Fun times...

Did they book the venue? Such rally after end of official campaign period is illegal and should not be allowed.
