The National Super Alliance (NASA) have accused the Independent and Electoral Boundaries Commission (EACC) and the Jubilee Party of taking its case casually.

In a detailed response to submissions by the lawyers of IEBC and President Uhuru, NASA argued that the way the two treated the case showed the inconsistencies and contradictions witnessed in the final tally of the presidential elections.

"They did not even attempt to respond to the issues we raised but only created an imaginary case for us and gave answers. They treated us, this court, and Kenyans with contempt and have themselves admitted they made the final declaration without all materials," said lawyer Otiende Amollo.

"The coalition submitted the totality of IEBC's submissions showed that the elections were shambolic and lacked constitutional validity."

NASA is asking the court to declare that Uhuru Kenyatta was irregularly declared the president-elect in the August 8 election.
