The Opposition alliance Friday kept the country waiting for several hours as the deadline of filing their petition approached, with journalists being casualties of a long day-wait.

On Wednesday, NASA changed tune after earlier denouncing any move to petition the election at the Supreme Court, and announced a court action. On Thursday, the public and media were kept guessing the exact time the case will be filed, but later in the evening indicated the filling will be done the following day (Friday).
