Moses Kuria message to Raila and President Uhuru after IEBC announced the results

Gatundu South Member of Parliament Moses Kuria told National Super Alliance (NASA) leader Raila Odinga that his political ambitions are over after the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Chairman Wafula Chebukati declared President Uhuru Kenyatta winner of the repeat presidential election that was held on October 26.

He also went ahead and told the President-Elect, Uhuru Kenyatta, that the easiest part is over and that the most difficult task is ‘uniting this great nation’.

“Raila Odinga's presidential ambitions are over for now. Uhuru Kenyatta is the President-Elect. He will be sworn in on the 14th of November most likely. That is the easier part. The most difficult task is uniting this great nation and curing the scars of divisive campaigns. President-Elect Kenyatta's first priority after being sworn in and after appointing his new cabinet should be to sit down with a wide spectrum of Kenyans including Raila Odinga and other NASA leaders. We must reason together as brothers and sisters on how best to drive this nation forward. So Mr President, expedite on your swearing in and appoint your cabinet as soon as possible. After that it behoves upon you to reach out and talk to anyone and everyone as long as we unite our people of this great land, Kenya,” Moses Kuria posted on his Facebook page.

The IEBC Chair while announcing that results said that he was satisfied with the results of the repeat presidential election. He said that announcing the outcome without results from the 25 constituencies in Nyanza will not affect anything. He also went ahead and said that he had endured a lot of criticism for the sake of Kenyans.

All eyes are now on NASA leader Raila Odinga who earlier said that they will never recognize Uhuru as president if he won, stating that the October 26 election was a sham since voters did not have confidence in President Uhuru’s government. He also went ahead and said that only 3.5 million voted according to the KIEMS Kit, which is about 20 per cent of the total registered voters.
