Kenyans harshly respond to DP Ruto’s allegations about Raila Odinga on International media

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.
