Azimio La Umoja Coalition Leader Raila Odinga addresses the nation a day after IEBC<\/a> Chairman Wafula Chebukati announced presidential election results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr Chebukati declared Kenya Kwanza candidate William Ruto as the President-elect after garnering 7,176,141votes beating Mr Odinga who got 6,942,930 Votes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Azimio leader was missing in action at Bomas of Kenya where IEBC announced the results. In even a bigger twist, four out of the seven IEBC commissioners disowned the presidential results moments before Mr Chebukati proclaimed the winner of the hotly contested poll.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The commissioners, including vice chair Juliana Cherera, commissioners Francis Wanderi, Irene Masit and Justus Nyang’aya, alleged that the final results were arrived at in an opaque manner, without giving further details. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2018Figures<\/a> announced by Chebukati are null and void. There\u2019s no legally declared winner or President-elect.\u2019Raila Odinga<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We totally and without reservations reject the presidential results announced yesterday\u2026 We are pursuing constitutional and lawful channels and processes to invalidate Mr. Chebukati\u2019s illegal and unconstitutional pronouncement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Raila Odinga continues and says Chebukati acted with gross impunity, he could have plunged our country into chaos<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kenya’s Presidential election Deputy returning officer Juliana Cherera says the election results were ‘ cooked ‘, and little wonder that they exceed the 100% mark at 100.01%.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She says the 0.01% translates to 142,000 votes which made a significant difference to the final results.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
