Kenyans took to the polls on October 26th following a Supreme Court ruling which nullified the August 8 presidential poll on grounds that IEBC committed various illegalities during the poll process. In the September 1 verdict, the Court ordered the poll body to conduct a repeat poll within 60 days, in accordance with the law. National Super Alliance (NASA) coalition withdrew from the repeat poll after IEBC failed to meet its irreducible minimums, citing that the election would not be free and fair. Odinga urged supporters to boycott the poll, even as Uhuru’s team asked voters to come out in large numbers for the election. IEBC has seven days to declare the winner, even as debate rages over the credibility of the poll.?

But do not listen to other folks their opinions do not matter only yours does. Work on having the attitude that this really is who you are and if they dont like it they can go to hell. 666483
