ARTICLE 140. (1) A person may file a petition in the Supreme Court to challenge the election of the President-elect within seven days after the date of the declaration of the results of the presidential election.
ARTICLE 259. (6) If a period of time prescribed by this Constitution for any purpose is six days or less, Sundays and public holidays shall not count when calculating the time.
Mukiha, If I get you correctly, It means that CORD have until next sunday to file the case because the stipulated time is more than 6 days meaning we will also have to count the weekends. So that can only mean that the next institution that will be discredited by CORD is the Judiciary. Why Do I say that? Because if they file it on Monday, they will be time barred. and they will tell their supported "Look, even the Judiciary is has been bought by Jubilee." I have also noted that whatever is being posted on CORD effect facebook page and anything else is just a wa y of dividing Kenyans by spreading lies. Here is the page. https://www.facebook.com...D-Effect/212810272177254

Since this is the first time that such a case is being taken to the Supreme court it would be interesting to observe the direction that the court takes. For this reason the case should not be dropped as it sets precedence.
If CORD's case against the credibility of IEBC is dependent on IEBC furnishing them with information, then their case becomes that much harder as the court does not have a compelling reason to ask IEBC to provide the documentation. This is similar to the police asking a judge for a search warrant on the basis of suspicion which the court would not grant as it infringes on your human rights.
As someone posted above, you cannot have a situation where as a party you agree to receive the certificates for other elective positions but maintain that the very same commission is not credible. CORD agents also signed off on the forms before the figures were tallied and announced and are therefore part of the process.
You cannot then turnaround and distance yourself because the result was not in your favor. If CORD is serious, it should ask all its elected members on Wednesday to hand back their certificates and go to the polls again with a new IEBC.
It should be noted that the Supreme court in arriving at its ruling would not just look at the arguments of the parties before it, but will look at what serves the best interests of the citizens of Kenya. We need to remember that the electoral process is there for the people and not individuals.

Nini hii sasa. Sounds to me either like:- 1. A secret harambee to raise funds. 2. A covert attempt for Raila or Cord to appoint new party leaders after attacking Raila for failing to concede, and making up a fake 'case'.The way kina wako,kilonzo and orengo were watching him from under a tree?

Because a president-elect needs such briefings, as per the constitution. It's just that he cannot take any action till he has been sworn in.
