Roots party running-mate Justina Wamae has issued a strong statement praising IEBC for conducting free, fair and transparent elections that saw William Ruto declared the president-elect.
Here’s her statement:
“BELATED CONGRATULATORY MESSAGE
It has taken me 4 days listening to argument from all quotas on whether IEBC was free, fair and transparent and I can confidently say that the election was transparent because the polling station agents who are supreme in this process would have raised an alarm if the Presiding officer was up to no good.
The Returning Officer in the constituency level would have been alarmed and mark you the national tallying centre had no power in determining the outcome of the 2022 Presidential election.
So when I see some parties like Roots Party who as a member can confidently say we were disorganized in regards to agents mobilization stating that votes were stolen is simply preposterous.
As a future leader, we need to stop bashing our institutions which in turn will translate to inciting the public against constitutionally mandated institutions.
To our supporters 61,969 is no mean feat, do not lose hope, what you did made a difference and building on itself will go into make a difference in future.
H.E William Ruto and H.E Rigathi Gachagua are going to be our President and Deputy President respectively and I pray that our wonderful peaceful people of Kenya will accept the verdict.
Congratulations H.E Ruto and H.E Rigathi on your victory. As the representative of the Kenyan youth I will support in any way I can to achieve a financially secure Kenya that is dignified across the globe. God bless you and your families as you undertake your new responsibility. #KenyaKwanza”
