What happens then?
Would they order a recount of the already cast votes or would they order a new election?
Would there have to be another election or can the parties organize a Nusu Mkate government to avoid one?
Would the same IEBC that delivered a flawed election be allowed to conduct a new one or would we have to start by forming a new IEBC?
What kind of turnout would we expect from a new election?
There would be MPs, Governors and MCAs in office majority of whom are Jubilee. What are NASA's chances of winning a second election?
Me I think the constitution has painted everyone, including the Supreme court, into a corner.
The law requires a decision on a presidential petition be made in 14 days. Calling for a recount, or even an audit would probably require more than 14 days. Which court would supervise it? I think this can not be a remedy. It is either validation of results or total rejection with an order to repeat the election. The kind of strange hemming and hawing we saw with Al Githurai and presidential ballots can not be an option here.
