So there is more confusion! The high court just ruled on the petition by another presidential candidate that he should be allowed to contest in the rerun of the presidential elections which will be held on the 26th...maybe. It was the IEBC that said that only the top two candidates could contest so the court said the IEBC made another mistake. They aren't getting things right at all in this process. So, if the election is rerun on the 26th they better get new ballot papers printed quickly...and of course that will cost more money. Now the IEBC has said they are going to put all eight candidates on the ballot. Raila sent a letter to the IEBC to withdraw but he hasn't sent the required form yet. Living with a lawyer has made all of this much more interesting and I'll miss our discussions when she's gone!
Things are quiet all over the country. There were supposed to be demonstrations today but there weren't any in Mombasa. I drove back from Voi and the road is still bad, hot and dusty with lots of police stopping us for no good reason. But there were less trucks and my medicine order came in so I am happy and have plenty of work to do.
