Senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi has claimed that Deputy President William Ruto’s Tanga Tanga faction of the ruling Jubilee party will benefit big should President Uhuru kenyatta dissolve parliament as per Chief Justice David Maraga’s advice.
Taking to his official Twitter account this morning, the flamboyant lawyer claimed that should President Kenyatta hid to the advice, Tanga Tanga will have a super majority of about 70% in both houses of the parliament.
Ahmednasir went ahead to argue that Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) party leader Raila Odinga will be the biggest loser.
According to the lawyer, Raila’s Orange party will lose its popularity, to an extend of jut being a Luo Nyanza political party.
“If H.E Uhuru DISSOLVES parliament in-line with the HERETIC constitutional advice by CJ Maraga, TangaTanga will have a super majority of about 70% in both Houses…and odm will become a Luo Nyanza party…FACT,” he tweeted.

EPILOGUE. Where does Maraga's advice leave bbi and can parliament take any step in light of today's events? Of course if Uhuru wrongly and regrettably goes against my legal opinion, the bbi story is over as we will go to elections. But if he goes with my
