Stop Living in Denial and Prepare to Face President Uhuru, COTU Boss Francis Atwoli Tells Raila

Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary General Francis Atwoli has told National Super Alliance (NASA) presidential candidate Raila Odinga to stop living in denial and prepare for the October 26th repeat elections.

Atwoli further asked the former Prime Minister to stop issuing threats that there will be no elections.

Atwoli, pointed out that the Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) should stop living in denial that he was not consulted on the date set by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), to conduct the repeat exercise.

The COTU boss also urged Raila to campaign in all corners of the country before the fixture between him and President Uhuru Kenyatta.

“Raila should be ready for the elections any day, he should stop living in denial that he was not consulted on the date for the repeat election. He should equip himself by campaigning across the country,” reiterated Atwoli.

On Friday, President Uhuru accused the Opposition leader of holding Kenya hostage with unending conditions over how the repeat election should be conducted.

Speaking in Kiambu County, the Head of State claimed Raila fears losing to him and thats why he did not want to go to the poll.

“Mungu ni yule yule na waKenya ni wale wale” (God is still the same and Kenyans are still the same). That is why he does not want an election,” Uhuru pointed out.
