Prof Muigai said the annulment betrayed his long-held beliefs as a constitutional lawyer and a historian involved in the process of writing the Constitution and implementing it. “There were irregularities that were demonstrated, but they were so minor that they did not affect the outcome. I argued that in court but the court did not agree and the judges annulled the election,” said Prof Muigai. Mr Odinga had on January 30, 2018 taken an oath in front of hundreds of his supporters at Uhuru Park as the “people’s president” after boycotting a repeat election. Prof Muigai, who was speaking on the ten-year journey of implementing the Constitution, said that the journey of actualising the law has been a success.
