Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi told the court in the ongoing petition challenging his client Mr Kenyatta’s victory, that petitioners did not vote in the just concluded poll. He directed the bench to article 140 and noted that not just anyone can challenge the validity of an election. “If you don’t deconstruct that article, you will be allowing anyone to pursue an election petition as a game of chance,” he said. To which Ahmednasir said the petitioners had not written anywhere in their affidavit that they had. “In the affidavit, they say they are registered but there is no place where they say they voted…the petitioners say there were no election,” he noted.
