SUPREME COURT RECEIVES ANOTHER DANGEROUS THREAT FROM AZIMIO.

Azimio la Umoja presidential candidate, Raila Odinga, has dispelled reports that he threatened Supreme Court Judges by demanding that they declare him president-elect.

Speaking on Thursday, August 25, the former Prime Minister explained that his message was misinterpreted by a section of leaders in the country.

Raila detailed that he only sent prayers to the Apex Court through his petition showing how the presidential election was bungled.

While urging his supporters to remain calm, the African Union High Representative for Infrastructure Development exuded confidence that the highest court in the land will annul the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) decision to declare William Ruto the president-elect.

I did not threaten the courts. I informed the public on what are our prayers to the court are,” Raila stated.

While speaking in Mombasa on Wednesday, August 24, Raila maintained that he won the election, advising the Supreme Court not to call for a re-run if they find out he won the August 9 polls.

Raila was addressing the public while drumming up support for ODM’s candidate in the Mombasa gubernatorial seat, Abdulswamad Shariff Nasir.

His sentiments attracted uproar, especially from a section of Kenya Kwanza leaders. Garissa Township MP-elect, Aden Duale, called out the former Prime Minister for allegedly declaring himself the president-elect.

Duale explained that Raila’s utterances amounted to treason.

“Kenyans in their numbers came out on 9th of August and pronounced themselves through the ballot that their president is non-other than William Ruto and his deputy is Rigathi Gachagua,” Duale stated.

“The government printer through the official gazette notice on 16th August confirmed the same. These other stories we are being told are laughable. Actually, anyone doing this is committing a serious offence against the constitution.”

The Supreme Court judges led by Chief Justice Martha Karambu Koome are expected to deliver the verdict on the presidential petition by Monday, September 5.
