It will be remembered that the Opposition filed the 25,000 pages backed petition on Friday, August 18, and around 10:30pm, less than two hours before the midnight time limit.
Nasa however argues that the documents it filed on Sunday – two days later – are not new evidence but an extension of what they had presented on Friday, although Supreme Court registrar Esther Nyaiyaki disagrees saying the new documents had been documented as received on Sunday, August 20.
There’s a high possibility the new documents may be thrown out when the hearing begins in a few days. There’s already precedence to that as back in 2013, when Raila first moved to the Supreme Court with the prayers that the court cancels Uhuru Kenyatta’s win, a 900-page evidence was thrown out by judges for late filing.
But according to NASA the documents filed in Sunday are an extension of those filed on Friday.
The judges will most likely throw the evidence away for late filling just like in 2013.
The probability of Raila losing this case is very high.
