Senior Counsel James Orengo will be the lead counsel alongside Senior Counsel Pheroze Nowrojee, Senior Counsel Philip Murgor, and Senior Counsel Okongo Omogeni.

The case management team comprising lawyers Jackson Awele, Julie Soweto, Velma Maumo, Prof. Ben Sihanya, Fred Orego, Dan Maanzo, Tom Macharia will be headed by Raila’s legal adviser Paul Mwangi. 

Other lawyers on the team are Tony Moturi, Dr. Judy Oloo, Celestine Opiyo, Arnold Oginga, Barbara Malowa, Addah Awiti, Justus Jura, Leonard Okanda, Plister Omondi, Winnie Makaba, Jerusah Michael, Deborass Bubi, George Ouma, Edward Ambala, Geoffrey Sore, and Naila Salim.

Also in the team are Tabitha Wathuti, John Njomo, Jacqueline Njoroge, Sperenza Nyawira Kinyua, Hannington Amol, Ndegwa Njiiru, Mathews Okoth, Kennedy Wanyanga and Kevin Katisya.

Prof. Makau Mutua, C.N Kihara, Dr. Adams Oloo, and Caesar Wanjau will act as consultants for the team.

“We are pleased that our Presidential Election petition has buoyed the spirits of Kenyans that justice will prevail and that they did not cast their ballots for Azimio in vain,” Raila’s Presidential Campaign Secretariat Spokesperson Makau Mutua said in a statement.

The pre-trial conference for the case is scheduled for August 30th and will be presided over by the seven judges of the Supreme Court led by Chief Justice Martha Koome.

    A waste of time and money!

  6. MsonoBariAug 25, 2022

    The one who Wasted time and money is your Uncle and Mentor who Gave his Daughter to Nigerians' voodoo so that He can Fraudulently "win" the Election.

    The road to a clean win starts. Already Kenya Kwanza wants a re-run hahaha. No, it is not going to happen. Votes should be counted again hence the big legal team. This habit of tinkering with votes should end now.

  8. MsonoBariAug 25, 2022

    Tuache Mzee🤠 wa MaendeLeo afanye Kazi; na Mwizi wa Mashamba aishie Nyumbani.

  9. MaxileyAug 25, 2022

    @ Mugikuyu, yes there is no need for a rerun, recounting should suffice,the votes are already there.It will also point at where the "miscounting",or irregularities existed.That's where the smoking "magnum"is...
    As for the big league team,what matters are the facts.

  10. mtejaAug 25, 2022

    Since 1997 you have always being rigged out? Bure kabisa!

  11. MsonoBariAug 25, 2022

    Bure are the RIGGERS. Use your Common sense Buttermilk!

  12. AsistaAug 25, 2022

    Mathematicians agree that 1+1=2. Even 100 lawyers from the Queens Counsel cannot change it to 3.
    So this show of 40 something lawyers is nothing rather than the usual chest thumping.
    Ideally Raila has about 20 lawyers but the rest are Uhurus.
    They are upto changing the mass will of the people.

  13. Ruto NjeAug 25, 2022

    Raila is president!

  14. MsonoBariAug 26, 2022

    I agree.

  15. SimamaImaraAug 26, 2022

    If Rao was anyones wife's he would be a zungusha kama marinda kind. No rest for him coz of demons he's carrying that won't give anyone rest. Even during nusu mkate he was a nuisance. Enda pumzika with Uhuru and GMO
