Azimio presidential candidate Raila Odinga now says they will not accept the two governor elections to be overseen by IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati.
Speaking in Mombasa on Wednesday while campaigning for Azimio candidate Abdulswamad Nassir, Raila said Chebukati should disqualify himself from the polls over integrity issues.
“Yeye hata haoni haya anasema ati uchaguzi ya Mombasa na Kakamega iendelee kama yeye yuko hapo,” Raila said.
“We are saying this elections will be conducted under the IEBC vice chairperson.”
Raila said Chebukati is now a suspect because of the petitions in court.
The ODM leader on Monday filed a petition challenging the election of William Ruto as President-elect.
He claims Chebukati presided over an illegal activity by declaring the Deputy President winner of the August 9 polls based on falsified election results.
“Bwana Chebukati kama mshtakiwa adisqualify himself (Chebukati as an accused person should disqualify himself),” Raila said.
“Ajiondoe katika hii uchaguzi ambayo itaendelea awache ifanywe na wale watu ambao hawana upendeleo,” Raila added.
(Let him disqualify himself and let people who are not partisan oversee the election)
This is Raila’s first visit to Mombasa since the August 9 general elections.
