Kenya’s presidential candidate Raila Odinga Tuesday afternoon “without reservation rejected the election results announced August 15 as Kenya’s electoral body proclaimed William Ruto as president-elect.
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission chief Wafula Chebukati proclaimed that Ruto won with 50.49 per cent of the vote against veteran politician Odinga’s 48.5 per cent .
“The figures are null and void and must be quashed by the courts of law. What we saw yesterday was a travesty and a blatant disregard of the constitution of Kenya by Mr Chebukati,” Raila told a press conference at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) in Nairobi on Tuesday.
