Langata Member of parliament Felix Odiwuor aka Jalango has sent a beautiful message to console the Azimio leader Raila Odinga following his loss at the Supreme Court.

The diehard supporter expressed his gratitude for Raila’s mentorship and promised to carry the hopes of his people as they start the new journey.

“Ipo siku! Now its turn to work for Langata! This is done and over! We have now the responsibility to carry hopes of our people and start the new journey! Baba you still remain my hero and mentor. Jeshi ya baba bado iko imara!” he posted.

Box number 24

When the Azimio was filing its petition, Jalang’o delivered box number 24 of the evidence, which he claimed was powerful enough to send Ruto to Sugoi.

“I carried box number 24 at the Supreme court. That is the number that will be sending William Ruto back home.” he said.

He expressed his confidence saying the box contained evidence about how the election was rigged in favor of Kenya Kwanza Alliance leader William Ruto.

Raila’s reaction to Supreme Court ruling

Yesterday, Raila Odinga disagreed with the decision of the Supreme Court of Kenya which dismissed his petition and upheld the election of William Ruto as president-elect.

In a statement in reference to the verdict, Raila said even though the judgement was not in their favour, it does not end the Azimio la Umoja movement.

“The judgement is by no means the end of our movement, in fact, it inspires us to redouble our efforts to transform this country into a prosperous democracy where each and every Kenyan can find their full belonging,” he stated.

The former prime minister said that he will soon communicate their plans of continuing with the struggle for transparency, accountability and democracy.

Raila Odinga 1

On Monday, the apex court in a unanimous ruling upheld William Ruto’s victory as the fifth President of Kenya.

Reading the verdict on Monday, Chief Justice Martha Koome said Ruto garnered 50 percent plus one vote cast.

Ruto had garnered 7.1m while Raila Odinga garnered 6.9m as declared by the IEBC.

The confirmation followed an intense 14-day process in which lawyers representing Azimio’s Raila Odinga, the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission and President-elect William Ruto did battle.

The Supreme Court received nine petitions, of which eight challenged Ruto’s election, while one support his victory.
