NAIROBI, Aug. 17 (Xinhua) -- The decision by Kenya's opposition leader, Raila Odinga to challenge the presidential election outcomes in the Supreme Court instead of resorting to mass action has earned him accolades from the public and foreign allies.
Odinga in his eagerly awaited announcement on his next political move on Wednesday said his NASA coalition will lay bare gross electoral malpractices that unfairly benefitted his rival President Uhuru Kenyatta who won the race.

He added that the heaviest responsibility lay with Supreme Court judges whom the Kenyan public and foreign allies expected to deliver an impartial ruling to quell post-election jitters.

"From the start Nike Vapormax Sale , the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) was illegally releasing unverified results to create the expectation of an Uhuru Kenyatta victory," said Odinga.
"Then there was the bizarre phenomenon of Kenyatta's "lead" staying at around a consistent 11 percent throughout the release of the results! Such a fixed margin has never.
