Azimio la Umoja presidential candidate Raila Odinga, has requested that Wafula Chebukati, the head of the Independent Electoral and Boundary Commission (IEBC), abstain from presiding over the upcoming governorship elections in Mombasa and Kakamega.
Speaking in Mombasa while addressing ODM supporters who had come to support ODM Mombasa gubernatorial candidate Abdulswamad Nassir, Mr. Odinga suggested that Mr. Chebukati should abstain from the elections and that Juliana Cherera should take charge of them.
“Standing by injustices even while his commissioners fled him,” Mr. Odinga charged the polls’ director.
“I have decided to come here to see you face to face due to the injustices inflicted upon you and Kakamega people. They decided to postpone the polls in the two counties because they were scared. But non matter how many times they postpone we will still win,” Mr Odinga said.
Adding:
“Can’t you see that I am not sad or shaken by anything. I know eventually the truth shall be known. Martha Karua and I have seen a lot of injustice. We are dealing with very corrupt opponents who had planned to rig a long time ago. The truth shall set the Kenyan nation free. Please be patient.”
