In the petition, the opposition leader and his running mate Kalonzo Musyoka have named President Kenyatta, Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and its chairman Wafula Chebukati as respondents.

In directions issued by Chief Justice David Maraga, who is also the President of the Supreme Court, Nasa is required to file their written submissions by 1 pm Friday while IEBC, its chairman, and President Kenyatta are required to file theirs by 3 pm.

On Friday morning, parties were supposed to appear in court for interlocutory applications while the pre-trial conference will be held on Saturday.

In affidavits expected to be filed in court, President Kenyatta, his agents Mr. Chirchir, Winnie Guchu, and Interior Principal Secretary Karanja Kibicho are among those who filed their statements in opposition to Nasa’s petition.
