Raila: The Truth About August 9th Election will Come Out Soon

Opposition leader Raila Odinga has reiterated his commitment to fighting for Kenya’s socio-political liberation, vowing to drop a bombshell that will impact the country’s politics.

Odinga, who lost a presidential bid for the fifth time in this year’s elections, insisted he does not recognize the current administration headed by President Ruto, adding that the truth of what happened in the August 9th elections will be unearthed soon.

"The truth will come out and they will regret it. For now, I will not speak, but what I am assuring you is that there is no going back", he said.

He added: "We know what happened. Even those propagating that I did not get votes from the Mt Kenya region. Those people voted for us and I know it. I know the work that was done there. They stood with us." 

The Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya coalition party leader also castigated President Ruto for luring some opposition leaders to join the government in order to have development projects in their regions.

"We cannot be threatened to join the government, which government?" he questioned. "If you are leading a county government. You are in government, which one again do they want you to get into?" 

He was speaking during the burial of Mzee Nyangaga Akoth, a member of the Luo Council of Elders, in Seme, Kisumu County on Saturday.
