“The court found out that there were forgeries in the forms used in the transmission of results and therefore Al Ghurair and Safran should not be contracted gain. There is enough time to look for an alternative,” Raila said.

“The vote of millions of people who wake up in the morning must count and IEBC should not waste the time of people who are ready to be part of change,” He added.

The Nasa leader asked his supporters not to lose hope, saying they are still solidly in the “journey to Canaan”.

“Our journey to Canaan was sabotaged but we are definitely headed to our destination, keep the hope alive. To our supporters, we shall reach our destination, we shall overcome all the hurdles on our way,” Odinga said.
