Vocal lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi has taken on former Azimio presidential running mate Martha Karua after she declined to recognize President William Ruto as Head of State.
Karua was having an interview with the BBC when she was asked if she recognized Ruto as the country's leader, to which she replied: “The law recognizes him (Ruto). But not me.”
However, in a tweet on Friday, October 21, Ahmednasir said that even if the Narc Kenya leader did not recognize Riuto as the president, she did not matter.
“The law recognizes him (Ruto as President). But not me.” Hon Martha quoted @Nation_Politics... AS IF SHE MATTERS!" Ahmednasir said.

Karua previously said he respected the Supreme Court's decision on upholding Ruto's victory but maintained that she did not agree with it.
She was one of the petitioners who challenged the election of the Head of State, but the Supreme Court dismissed the petition.
In a joint statement with Azimio leader Raila Odinga, the duo dismissed the apex court's full judgement as 'hot air'.
Karua hinted at challenging the ruling at the the East Africa Court of Justice.
“Because the court said that we have hot air, a hot air balloon can take me to East Africa. I am actually considering whether to travel on a hot air balloon to the East Africa Court just to discuss that judgement,” she previously stated.
