24 Envoys Back IEBC to Conduct Repeat Presidential Election

24 Envoys Back IEBC to Conduct Repeat Presidential Election

Hours after the Supreme Court nullified the reelection of President Uhuru Friday, foreign envoys reached out to the Kenyans in a joint statement, saluting them for fully respecting the rule of law.

24 envoys led by US ambassador to Kenya Robert Godec have thrown their weight behind the Independent and Boundaries Commission (IEBC), saying that it is capable of conducting a repeat presidential in the stipulated 60-days ordered by the court.

“Kenya’s electoral institutions now must begin preparing for a new presidential poll later this year and we urge everyone to work to make it free, fair, credible and peaceful,".

“We have trust in the ability of Kenya and its citizens to do so and we will continue to support Kenya’s institutions in this important work,” they said.

The envoys welcomed the Supreme Court decision and lauded Kenyans for the patience and confidence the showed during the legal process.

“ The Kenyan people showed patience and confidence as the legal case ran its course, its an historic time and we stand with all Kenyans as they support and reaffirm their democracy” they added.

Envoys from UK, Germany, European Union, Denmark, Norway, Switzerland, France, Italy, Canada, Greece, Slovakia, Netherlands, Portugal, Australia, Czech Republic, Ireland, Sweden, Romania, Belgium, Finland, Poland, Austria, Spain were present during the joint presser.

National Super Alliance leader Raila Odinga has already intimated that he has no faith with the current electoral commission to conduct a fresh poll.

Third-way Alliance presidential candidate Ekuru Aukot echoed Raila's sentiments and advised the United Nations be allowed to carry out a fresh elections.

Not again! The same envoys said that the election was fair! After Msando was killed by the state killing machines and no one has been arrested so far in order to keep the same corrupt regime in power, we can no longer trust IEBC again!

Our new Supreme Court in Kenya is superior and reliable than many supreme courts in the world. We are proud that Kenya has made history again in the world - this time in our judiciary!

JOHN KERRY MAINTAINS POLL WAS NOT RIGGED. NASA'S PLANS WILL BACKFIRE! THERE WILL BE NO NEW IEBC AND UHURU WILL WIN AGAIN. RAILA, NASA AND MARAGA'S DAY OF RECKONING IS FAST APPROACHING. READ BELOW
NASA 21 STEPS TO INVALIDATE POLL AND ENTER FAKE CANAAN
EUREKA! WE FOUND IT. HERE IS WHAT NASA DID TO INVALIDATE ELECTIONS:
1. NASA knew they do not have votes to beat Jubilee but they have the mischief. They had no Tyranny of numbers but they could muster the tyranny of lies, mischief and propaganda. They wanted to get the ballot printing tender so they could get extra ballots and extra forms 34 A, B and C for false result claims in their strongholds
2. When they failed to get the tender, they went to court and insisted that the constituency should be the point of final results declaration. The judgement was thus granted
3. NASA knew they had no votes to beat Jubilee but they could spoil the polls
4. At the polling stations they could not bring fake forms because there was more scrutiny
5. So they printed fake forms 34Bs distributed to as many NASA-friendly Constituency returning officers in NASA STRONGHOLDS like Joho’s Mombasa county and Luoland. At the constituency level Jubilee agents in NASA strongholds were either absent, not keen to note fake Form 34 Bs being introduced or they were knowingly being NASA moles pretending to be Jubilee agents
6. The returning officers who were pro-NASA deliberately used the wrong forms 34B to collate the results from polling stations. They also deliberately entered as many errors as they could.
7. The voting was done okay in most polling stations and the results transmitted directly to the National Tallying Center and Constituency tallying centers.
8. IEBC had initially said they would not stream provisional results as per the court rulings. But under pressure and to avoid allegations of cooking results for being silent, they promised to show streaming results as updated every 3 hours.
9. That did not allow enough time for form 34Bs to come in so IEBC could scrutinize them and notice that in NASA strongholds, fake Forms 34Bs had been introduced.
10. In the meantime, NASA started or rather continued making noise about IEBC and how results were coming in when it was obvious that Jubilee was winning
11. NASA agents some of them overseas tried to hack into the IEBC servers. NASA also had moles within IEBC IT department where they deliberately interfered with the servers and data to create false evidence of results manipulation.
12. Observers and everybody noticed and agreed that things had gone well at polling stations. But at Constituency Tallying Centers there was less observers to note what in NASA strongholds was going on with form 34Bs. At Constituency and County level also, Jubilee candidates agents focused on MP, MCA, Senator and Governor results tallying and those were correct as announced.
13. The results continued coming to IEBC and IEBC was under pressure to finish up the collation of Forms 34 Bs to generate Forms 34 C. Remember as per Court orders IEBC Chebukati was denied power to change anything coming from Constituency Tallying Centers
14. IEBC and Chebukati did the right thing and correctly tallied the submitted results, then announced the winner legally and correctly.
15. NASA made noise as expected. Then pretended they would not go to court to fool Jubilee into relaxation while NASA agents and lawyers worked 24/7 to gather the many fake forms their agents (as Returning Officers) had knowing submitted to IEBC
16. NASA has over the years quietly taken over the judiciary using their friendly judges and many clerical moles. They also managed to push many of their sympathizer judges to enter the Supreme Court after three positions became vacant.
17. After results were announced and widely accepted NASA tried the violence card but it failed to catch on. The “peoples’ court” was touted but soon fizzled out.
18. They tried to use the foot soldiers (NGOS like Africog) to go to court but the move was thwarted.
19. Then in a last-minute surprise move NASA went to court filed the petition and piled external pressure on the judges to believe the fabricated allegations and false evidence and “this time around” redeem the supreme court image
20. Jubilee and IEBC lawyers did a gallant job as admitted by even Justice Ojwang. But lazy computer illiterate, false religious David Maraga along-side Kalonzo leaning Philomena Muilu, Wetangula and Mudavadi leaning Smokin Wanjala and one erratic self-impressing judge Leanola accepted the NASA lawyers’ propaganda and without an iota of evidence or sound legal reasoning and realistic and patriotic consideration of country THE INEPT JUDGES INVALIDATED THE OTHERWISE CREDIBLE ELECTIONS in a move that surprised millions and threw Kenya into turmoil.
21. Now NASA is working mischievously harder to create a constitutional crisis and force NUSU mkate fake Canaan. If Jubilee and IEBC and every Jubilee supporters doesn’t watch out and speak out, the repeat elections will be spoilt by NASA to create another claim of illegitimacy and throw the country into turmoil until mkate nusu comes through. IEBC please ensure no fake FORMs 34 Bs are submitted from NASA strongholds again!

Thanks for telling it to those calling others shallow that it's not all roses as they would like to see the world in the cartoon " hero" world of hercules. Raila is not moses and someday all this will come into light

Many shallow minds cannot see the blessing we all got yesterday as a country. It's a noble achievement for an African Justice system to annul an election way they did yesterday. God works in mysterious ways, this I believe. Millions of Kenyans prayed for peace in the wake of the chaos and violence of 2007/8 and God heard them so that 2013 was peaceful and 2017 even more peaceful. However, God is not yet done with the lesson plan so He "plunges" us into a classic "learning scenario" where one or two things will happen, both very positive and fitting into my narrative of God answering prayers:

1. Uhuru emerges winner in a repeat election and completely destroys the opposition, Think for a moment about the opposition if they are beaten in a second round??? This way, Uhuru will have massive moral foundation to steer country forward, in peace and prosperity (hopefully), or
2. Raila Odinga pulls a surprise and wins. Will immediately lead credence to claims of thievery in previous elections. More importantly, Kenya will get a radically different, fresh and progressive approach to issues. And I don't even understand why there's so much hullaballoo about a Raila presidency, kwani? RAO may have some issues but he's done a tremendous job changing the political landscape of the country for the better, like it or not. So, why worry? Both ways, there's something striking about "clean" that will emerge.....time for me to go fishing

I support the envoys. There is no time to reconstitute IEBC. So, current one should and will conduct the polls. Those not wishing to participate can elope.

To make progress we need such entities that take the devils advocate role to challenge ours assumptions and point out our blind spots; otherwise we will get hypnotized by false sense of democracy or entitlements.

Mlachake has a good point about the effect the second Uhuru will have on crushing the opposition. I agree with you on that one. It is a blessing in disguise

Mkenya halisi (not verified)     Sun, 09/03/2017 @ 07:21am

Mlachake true but R.E.M. If Rao wins he will b impeached within 1week coz jubilee mpigs will b mad Uhuru presidency was taken away from them.So again we go back to elections or the speaker becomes the president til we have another election n bammm Uhuru comes back so either way u look at it raila is finished politically n this elections game can go on til end of 2018.

Maraga's decision, great! Its time to change Kenya. Our nation does not belong only to two ethnic groups - the Gikuyu and Kalenjin. These two arrogant and incompetent ethnic groups have turned Kenya into a " third world " nation. It's time for them to take a half a century break from national leadership.
