Azimio la Umoja presidential candidate Raila Odinga concluded his onslaught on the August 9 presidential election by asking the court to give Kenyans a chance at a repeat election.

In his rejoinder to responses by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) and Deputy President William Ruto, Raila and his running mate Martha Karua submitted that the irregularities which had not been rebutted are sufficient to nullify the election.
