Kenyan lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi has come out to explain why he is not allowed to represent President-elect William Ruto in the presidential petition filed at the Supreme Court.
In a statement released via his social media pages, Ahmednasir says that he wants to represent Ruto but unfortunately he is conflicted.
The prolific lawyer explained that he represented President Uhuru Kenyatta against Raila Odinga in the 2017 presidential election petition and the two former foes are now allies.
He explained that Uhuru can object to the move citing a breach of clients-Advocate privilege.
"I want but I can't act for President-Elect Ruto in the Supreme Court. I'm conflicted. In 2017, I acted for outgoing President Uhuru against Hon Raila. Now that Uhuru's project (Hon Raila) is challenging Ruto's victory obviously Uhuru will object & raise clients-Advocate privilege," Ahmednasir said in a tweet.
He, however, noted that he will run a Twitter commentary on the strengths and weaknesses of the case that will have been filed by Raila Odinga.
