Deputy President William Ruto accused
National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga of organizing militia to
block the delivery of voting materials during his interview with the CNN. DP
Ruto then went ahead and dismissed Raila's claims and said that President Uhuru’s
win was legitimate.
‘’You must win 50%... we have already
surpassed that threshold… That means that in terms of the constitution, the
legitimacy question is already answered… It is incorrect for Mr. Odinga to say
that 3.5 million voters turned out. In fact 7.5 million voters turned out… Of
course he wants to peddle a narrative that suits his political narrative. There
is a percentage of voters that was denied a chance to vote. I challenge our
opponent to remove the organized militia blocking the delivery of voting
material and we will know for sure if those affected want to vote or not,” said
DP Ruto during the interview.
