Ruto Claims One Million Voters from His Strongholds Removed from IEBC Register

Ruto Claims One Million Voters from His Strongholds Removed from IEBC Register

Deputy President William Ruto claims that some one million registered voters have been removed from the register as part of the wider scheme to rig the August 9th general elections.

Ruto, who is eyeing the presidency under the UDA party and Kenya Kwanza Alliance, made the claims during a breakfast meeting with European Union (EU) envoys on Thursday.

Without providing any evidence to back his allegations, the deputy president noted that a majority of the affected voters are from areas perceived to be his strongholds.

“We expect that everybody who is concerned including the EU to try and get as much detail as possible both from the electoral commission and these public officials on what all this is all about and how did close to a million names disappear from the register. And many of those names are from what we consider our stronghold. It is a clear attempt to try some monkey games,” said Ruto as quoted by Nation.

While demanding answers from the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), Ruto appealed to the European Union (EU) and other bodies to join the quest in ensuring free and fair elections.

 “We do not believe they will succeed but these attempts are a source of concern to Kenyans. We are ready to work with the electoral commission and friends to deliver credible elections,” he added.

Kenya Kwanza alliance principal Moses Wetangula on his part raised his concerns about the preparedness of the electoral commission to conduct the upcoming elections.

 “Elections are not charged free and fair on the basis of conduct on the day of voting.  It is the entire process beginning from the integrity of the voters roll, the conduct of election officials, conduct of state machinery and so on. I know EU has been a close observer and we know you will say when you feel things are not right,” he said.

Huyu Ndugu yetu Makamu wa Rais Kipchirchir Samoei anapenda sana kunung'unikanung'unika, na kulialia, na kusema uongo kila wakati anapoona ya kwamba chombo chake kimeanza kwenda mrama.
Wananchi wote wa Kenya wanamjua zaidi kuliko yeye anavyofikiria wanamjua.
Yafaa Samoei amshukuru sana Rais wa Kenya Ndugu Uhuru Ngina Kamau (Kenyatta) kwa sababu kama ngalikuwa rais mwingine, Samoei sasa angekuwa ameshapata kifungo cha maisha katika jela kutokana na vitendo vyake vya ajabu alivyofanya kama kutumia wakati wa serikali, na pia mali ya umma kwa kujijenga kiuchumi na kimasomo.
Inasemekana ya kwamba alimfanya mwanafunzi wa chuo kikuu mimba na kupata mtoto wa kike, na huku anajigamba kwa kusema ya kwamba yeye ni mcha mungu (god fearing) wake wa Kiyahudi.
Ndugu yake Oscar Sudi alidanganya Kenya nzima ya kwamba alimaliza kidato cha nne na kupita mtihani na kuendela na masomo yake zaidi halafu ikapatikana ya kwamba hakufanya hivyo. Kwa nini mpaka sasa Samoei anaendelea kumkinga na kumtetea Oscar Sudi na huku anajua ya kwamba Sudi
ni "pathological, congenital, and incorrigible liar?"

Samoei atajua hivi karibuni, punde si punde kwenye siku za usoni ya kwamba, "Siku za mwizi ni arobaini."

https://youtu.be/kuLa2YKGy5c

https://youtu.be/OsiRoC4yQpg

Ningependa kuona Samoei akilazimishwa kurudisha pesa alizopata kama mshahara kwa muda wa miaka minne bila kufanya kazi.

Mwishowe, ningependa kumwona Samoei akiwataja majina wote waliohusika kuwateketezea wazee, akina mama, na watoto (37)katika kanisa la Kiambaa huko Eldoret. Ni lazima wote wanaojua au wliohusika washikwe na kupelekwa mahakamani na kuadhibiwa bila huruma. Jambo la ajabu ni kuwa, imepita zaidi ya mika kumi na minne (14) tangu janga hili lifanyike na huku Samoei hajajishughulisha hata kidogo kuwajua na kuwakamata wote waliohusika.

Imara when you talk kisomo it reminds me of the story of a Kenyan professor paid in the state of Massachusetts to do kamwanas homework in Umass Amherst. While that of engineer is bought from the streets. Let Raila tell us who was his classmates in engineering department of Nbi university. Or who the passing lecture?
It’s beneath our moral values to begrudge success be it in social or economic status. Jealousy does not pay.
Again the person who should payback the public coffers money is one official opposition leader named Raila Odinga. I know you call him the right honorable doctor engineer prime minister. That’s who who am talking about. He absconded his official duties of checking the government and joined the eating until today when the economy is below 1.4 % down from 5.9% before he joined in.
He gets paid 300 million every year for that role. He gets paid more than Ruto gets paid. While Ruto donated all his salary despite fully working for Kenyans ( not Uhuru) your Baba and of course your other second Baba Uhuru took their money overseas.

Kicks of dying horses!! Shetani mshindwe!! Trying the ‘Trump card,’ it never worked in the U.S ’ it won’t work here in Kenya!!

This is very dangerous talk from Ruto! This kind of talk triggers crazy, murderous followers to attack members of other tribes who they assume are not voting for him!
After our previous history with post-election violence, you would think authorities would have Ruto sit down with the CID or other investigating body, and provide EVIDENCE to prove his claims!!
Loose talk like this, without evidence will surely results into loss of life, property, and freedom!

It’s not Rutos talk that keeps the tribal animosity. It’s the deep state orchestrating violence. And the world is watching. Should there be a problem the international civil society knows who to go for.
Rigging elections is evil and unconstitutional.

@Asista, what is this "deep state" you keep talking about? Last time I checked, Ruto is the VP! You don't get deeper than that! He has been VP for 9+ years! He has his own people in government who are loyal to him, more than they are to the president! He had his own deep state, if you will!
Stop complaining like trump when he was president and complaining about deep state!
Losers always complain when they see the writing on the wall, and all indicators of failure flashing in their face.

Please stop whining like a toddler WSR. You are the thief and now you have bribed Chebukati to make us believe you are a damn victim.

You are just a useless self serving whiner. Who is your damn father?

Where was EU when Ruto rigged Raila in 2017 presidential elections and killed Musando to steal the codes to the computers. Who are you fooling Ruto?

Mūgīkūyū (not verified)     Thu, 06/02/2022 @ 06:34pm

Angalia hii kiherehere kimeenda kwambia wazungu unjinga. Did he also confess to being behind the killing of women and children at Kiambaa church or looting of Arror and Kimwarer dam money or teargassing toddlers and grabbing their play ground etc?
Behaving like the child who goes to chokoza the siblings akichapwa anaenda kumwabia Mama yake in crocodile tears.

Call him what’s it he’s smart enough to see what the deep state is doing to rig elections. Be known that he has registered a valid claim of rigging to the international observers. Should there be violence leading to this, the international body knows who to go for.

EU knows the cause and the owner of every other election violence in Kenya. Ruto wasn’t running for president. He had absolutely nothing to gain out of Raila’s government had he win. Even after nusu mkate. The right and actual candidates for ICC are eventually popping up on their own.

Is this @asista really this stupid? Is it a she or he because whether you are a kalenjin or not, the country comes first and you don’t blindly support a guy you know he will destroy your country. Ruto is unfit to be the next president of kenya. He is now inciting Kenyans with lies that “his” are being thrown away. It will not work.

Kipserem of course smart enough is relative. There no absolute or 100%. EU is not helping vote for Ruto. It’s the Kenyans who will. EU comes in when dispute arises. Let’s not dwell on arguing on the obvious.

Sheryl (not verified)     Thu, 06/02/2022 @ 06:35pm

EU wants Ruto to be defeated because they know he is a thief who have stolen all the money they have given for various projects in kenya. EU does not want Ruto to be the next president.

Who will accept vote registration without signature?

Unless FOOL.

Votes are counted this is a whining looser

This is where IEBC need to come out strong and defend the voting system. There is nothing to investigate, they own the facts. IEBC need to confirm/deny whether about 1 million voters were purged from the register, and then explain why they were removed. There are many genuine reasons for updating that register. If IEBC cannot explain this in a simple statement, and we are still waiting explanation for the NIS polling, and the report on that polling, then, we will have problems conducting a free and fair election. IEBC and NIS need to come out today, and not tomorrow.

Sry assista. Facts always fail u however hard you try to gain Ruto’ s favour. But you would make a good opposition associate to him - you have good though non-factual arguments.
