Raila Calls for a Rally to Address IEBC Whistleblower Election Rigging Claims
Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition leader Raila Odinga is set to hold a public rally at Kamukunji grounds in Nairobi on Monday.
His spokesperson Dennis Onyango said Odinga will land in the country from South Africa on the same day at 11 am and will head straight to the rally’s venue, where he will give an address on the recent whistleblower’s account of the 2022 election.
“Upon arrival, Mr. Odinga will proceed to the Kamukunji grounds in Kamukunji Constituency for a People’s Baraza consultations with the public where they will discuss recent disclosures by a whistleblower on the conduct of the 2022 general election,” Onyango said in a statement on Saturday.
“Mr. Odinga appeals to Kenyans to show up in large numbers at the Kamukunji Baraza, in the interest of the country.”
The whistleblower, who claims to be an IEBC employee, released a report detailing how the August 9th, 2022 presidential election was allegedly rigged in favor of President Ruto.
In the report, the whistleblower claimed that Odinga won the presidential election after garnering 8,170,355 votes ahead of Ruto who managed 5,919,973 votes.
“That original data, which the public has never seen until now, shows without an iota of doubt that the IEBC under Chairman Wafula Chebukati, Commissioners Abdi Guliye and Boya Molu together with CEO Marjan Hussein provided falsified data and results to the Kenyan people,” the whistleblower noted.
“The bottom line is that there will be no reason for any Kenyan to participate as a voter or candidate in future elections if the fraud of the 2022 elections is not reversed.”
Odinga has been in South Africa for the past week for a series of meetings in his capacity as the AU High Representative for Infrastructure Development in Africa.
