Raila: I'm Sure I Did Not Lose

Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya coalition presidential candidate Raila Odinga insists that he won the August 9th presidential candidate.

Speaking during a church service in Kibra on Sunday, Odinga said Kenyans must know the truth about what transpired in the August 9th election and vote tallying process.

“For there to be reconciliation, truth must be known, where is the truth?” Raila posed.

Odinga said the lack of consensus between the seven Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) commissioners raises serious questions about the credibility of the election.

The commission is split into two with one faction comprising Chairperson Wafula Chebukati, Abdi Guliye and Boya Molu while the other is made of Vice Chair Juliana Cherera, Justus Nyang’aya, Francis Wanderi and Irene Masit. 

The Cherera-led group disowned the presidential election results where UDA candidate William Ruto was declared the winner.

“Are the three saying the truth or it is the four? Where is the truth? Between the two groups of commissioners, somewhere there is the truth. What I am asking for as Raila Amollo Odinga is to be told the truth,” said Odinga.

“It is a shame to democracy, shame to the world. These are things we do not want to see, they are trying to stage a civilian coup to subvert the will of the people. Kenyans will not allow it.”

Odinga urged the Supreme Court to deliver justice, pledging to accept the verdict as long as it is truthful.

“I do not fear, if I lost I will say I lost. And I will go home. But where is the truth? I am sure I did not lose, I will stand firm, and I will not be shaken,” he added.
