Raila odinga never saw the events of the repeat elections coming. He thought he had mastered all the loopholes in the constitution and no legitimate elections would take place.
Raila odinga plan was to force for fresh elections after 6 months with formation of an interim government in the meantime.
Raila odinga had described the election as jubilee opinion poll.
But with Supreme Court uphelding the elections and claiming that it meets threshold odinga strategy failed miserably.
They noted that according to the constitution the elections could not be postponed even though Raila announced his withdrawal publicly and even wrote a letter to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
They said it was Raila odinga Right not to participate in the elections and that election period is over.
Odinga is now trying to push the government for talks,something which will not give him any power.
