The publication says that Raila's petition in 2022 looks contentious hence likely to provoke an argument ahead of the much awaited Supreme Court Ruling.
"....Mr. Odinga turned up outside the courthouse with a van filled with boxes of legal fillings, which he helped to inside. But while Mr. Odinga enjoyed a fair measure of public sympathy in his previous election battles- by most estimates victory was stolen once- this time round his accusations are more contentious," Reads the document on New York Times.
The New York Times further takes a glimpse of Raila's petition saying that the arguments by Raila's lawyers range from reasonable thoughts to bizarre or unfamiliar.
New York times reveals how Raila's petition will be scrutinized by the Supreme Court months after Raila and President Uhuru lost court battle in a bid for constitutional changes (BBI).
"....His legal team appear to have taken a kitchen sink approach, making a wide range of charges that analysts say range from plausible to the outlandish. They will be scrutinized by a Supreme Court with a reputation for independence. It forced a rerun of the 2017 election and earlier this year overturned constitutional changes championed by Mr Odinga and Mr. Kenyatta," the publication adds.
Raila Odinga hopes that the Supreme Court nullifies Ruto's win so that he can awaken his fifth stab to Presidency which is in limbo.
