President-elect William Ruto launched a fight back claiming that petitions challenging the presidential election are the work of fiction.
Through lawyers Fred Ngatia, Kioko Kilukumi, Kithure Kindiki and Kiragu Kimani, Ruto and his deputy Rigathi Gachagua claimed that no evidence had been provided to prove that the elections were rigged.
"We have painstakingly looked at the petitions and found no evidence of their claims. Their claims are work of fiction, full of pranks to mislead the court to moderate excesses of the political class and take the role of voters and declare Raila Odinga as president," said Ngatia.
