Azimio la Umoja Azimio presidential flagbearer Raila Odinga has asked the Independent Electoral and Boundary Commission (IEBC) chairman Wafula Chebukati to disqualify himself from overseeing the upcoming Mombasa and Kakamega gubernatorial races.
Speaking in Mombasa while meeting ODM officials and supporters who had shown up to campaign for ODM Mombasa gubernatorial candidate Abdulswamad Nassir, Mr Odinga said that Mr Chebukati should recuse himself from the gubernatorial elections and the same be overseen by his deputy Juliana Cherera.
Mr Odinga accused the polls boss of “standing by injustices even as his commissioners deserted him.”
“He should disqualify himself from presiding over Mombasa and Kakamega polls,” he said.
“I have decided to come here to see you face to face due to the injustices inflicted upon you and Kakamega people. They decided to postpone the polls in the two counties because they were scared. But non matter how many times they postpone we will still win,” Mr Odinga said.
He added: “Can’t you see that I am not sad or shaken by anything. I know eventually the truth shall be known. Martha Karua and I have seen a lot of injustice. We are dealing with very corrupt opponents who had planned to rig a long time ago. The truth shall set the Kenyan nation free. Please be patient.”
