CS Ahmednasir Withdraws From Representing Kenya Kwanza In Election Petition
In the presidential election petition being filed on Monday by Azimio La Umoja, attorney Ahmednasir Abdullahi, who had been identified as a member of the legal team representing Kenya Kwanza before the Supreme Court, has withdrawn, citing a conflict of interest.
Ahmednassir claims that because he formerly worked for Uhuru Kenyatta, who is now backing Raila Odinga, he is unable to represent William Ruto’s side, Kenya Kwanza.
According to SC Ahmednasir, “Uhuru will undoubtedly object and invoke the clients-advocate privilege.”
Azimio La Umoja will file a petition with the Supreme Court on Monday in an effort to overturn the IEBC’s declaration that DP Ruto won the elections on August 9th. This announcement was made last Monday, August 15, 2022.
