The Building Bridges Initiative has received a major boost after the Thirdway Alliance moved to withdraw a court case that had threatened to scuttle the process. However, Thirdway Alliance, which secured the orders, has now opted to withdraw the case. Thirdway Alliance was the only party that had secured orders temporarily stopping a referendum. On Twitter, Law Society of Kenya president Nelson Havi—one of the petitioners—castigated the Thirdway Alliance officials, calling them conmen and con woman. “These two conmen and con woman hiding under the umbrella of Thirdway Alliance should never be allowed to file any constitutional petition in our courts,” he tweeted.
