Reactions To The Supreme Court Upholding Uhuru’s Victory

President Uhuru Kenyatta’s supporters on Monday flooded streets all across Kenya, including the very busy Nairobi CBD, celebrating the Supreme Court decision to uphold his re-election.

Jubilee supporters crowded outside the Supreme Court carrying flags and placards as they simultaneously broke out in song and danced.

Others honked their car and motorcycle horns as another section of the supporters were also seen praying in one corner.

In Githurai, a similar celebratory mood engulfed the area with people singing “Uhuru tano tena”.

In Maralal Town, Samburu County, Jubilee supporters expressed their joy at the Supreme Court’s decision saying it was a sign that the political uncertainty in the country and economic sabotage would come to an end.

The celebratory mood was, however, a contrast to what is happening in the opposition stronghold of Kisumu.

Youths in Kondele stoned and burnt a vehicle after the Supreme Court upheld President Uhuru Kenyatta’s election.

The opposition supporters were seen trying to dismantle the vehicle as others used rocks to break the windscreen before they set it ablaze.

Some of the youths stood at the scene of the incident, which is about 100 meters from Kondele police station, and watched the car burn as others shouted angrily.

Unconfirmed reports indicate that the youths were stopping motor vehicles and asking passengers for their IDs along Busia road.

Following the incidents, Orange Democratic Movement director of communications, Philip Etale, took to Twitter to ask NASA supporters to remain calm.

“NASA supporters across the country are advised to remain calm and not to react to any form of provocation by our opponents,” he said.

“Be calm, still and focused and wait for the way forward from the leadership.”
