George Wajackoyah Pulls Out of Presidential Debate

George Wajackoyah Pulls Out of Presidential Debate

Roots Party presidential candidate Prof. George Wajackoyah has withdrawn from the 2022 Presidential Debate slated for Tuesday.

Roots Party said Wajackoya will not attend the presidential debate “because we will not subject the incoming President to the Joke of an already predetermined debate”, adding that the “media cannot decide the outcome of an election before the poll day.”

“The notion that some candidates are trailing others or some leading others is baseless. We refuse to be counted as “others" in this important democratic duty of seeking the presidency,” the party’s spokesperson added.

Wajackoyah further pointed out that the Presidential Debates team had not addressed concerns that he had brought to their attention in a letter dated July 21st.

“We would like to however state that our candidate is available to share the same podium with all the four presidential candidates as we define our agenda to all Kenyans,” the party added.

Wajackoya was set to face off with his Agano Party counterpart Waihiga Mwaure in the first-tier debate while Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya coalition candidate Raila Odinga, who has also pulled out of the debate, was set to go head-to-head with Deputy President William Ruto in the second tier debate.

    These tyrannical kenyan journalists are very stupid. Why are discriminating among the candidates by pairing them up based on the fake polls?

    They need to put four people at the same platform to discuss the issues affecting Kenyans. Hawa colonialists think they are very important people. They are seem to be bending the rules for ruto who have bribed them with stolen money to oly ask certain useless questions. .

    At least three would have shared the platform. We got a press conference instead.

    Am glad to know that the polls are fake.
    WSR has stolen no money. Didn’t you hear the flailing Tuju saying that Uhuru bought him so that he can become president?

    Wacha ufaka wewe fisi @asista. Surely your mother curses the day she gave birth to a foolish kid. You damn sycophant with mental sickness.

    How many acres of cannabis/ngwai has Wanjakoya planted since it was legalized in US,Canada and UK a decade ago?Or how many CBD clinics does he operate in those countries?Answer-NONE.He is just misleading Kenyans who jump on anything these gifted conmen present.

    Wajackoyah I support your decision. We can not have baby debates and adult debates. Arap Mashamba is debating himself for he will not allow even Babu Owino (who has Baba's blessing) to debate him.

    Mugikuyu let this tialala criminal worry about his dwindling support in E Embakasi. The ganja man is full of himself. He has superiority tendencies. Like someone has mentioned here, he is trying to mislead Kenyans. How much ganja or snakes or his hyena balls has he done in the USA?

    I really dont like the journalists dividing the debates like these guys did not have a chance to be president. Its the people that vote and not the journalists alone. Good that Wajackoyah rejected the discriminatory debate arrangement
