The last has definitely not been heard on the presidential election in Kenya which the electoral body, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, IEBC, announced, on Monday.
The IEBC Chairperson, Wafula Chebukati, had, on Monday, declared Deputy President William Ruto as the President-elect.
But at a press conference on Tuesday, former Prime Minister, Mr. Raila Odinga, who lost the August 9 presidential poll by a tiny margin, roundly rejected the results, calling the IEBC Chairman, aa ‘burly’.
Speaking to the press for the first time since his loss, Raila said:
“Chebukati alone decided to announce the winner of the 2022 elections. Only Chebukati alone had access to the tally.
“He denied the Commissioners access to the tally and only appeared to them in the afternoon and showed them the different results he was to present.”
Raila further revealed that the Commissioners were against what Chebukati was doing hence they decided to distance themselves from the results.
“4 of the 7 protested Chebukati’s action but he facilitated a walkout by the commissioners who held a conference and denounced the
“The figures announced by Chebukati are null and void and must be quashed by the court of law. He acted in gross impunity.”
The former Kenyan Prime Minister then vowed to use all the available channels to seek justice. He has, however, asked his followers to keep calm. He also thanked those who voted for him.
