Opposition leader Raila Odinga has called for the resignation of President William Ruto.
According to Raila, Ruto did not win the August 9 2022 presidential election, insisting that he is in office illegally.
Speaking in a video shared by ODM Communications Director, Phillip Etale on Saturday, Raila explained that there are facts showing that he won the election.
“I’m saying as a proud African that Africa should not be judged by different standards. If something is not accepted in Europe, it should not be accepted in Africa. What I’m saying is facts that are there show that Mr William Ruto did not win an election. He lost.
“I won and so he’s there illegally and what we are going to demand is that Mr Ruto should resign and let Kenyans have their will,” he said.
The former Prime Minister said indeed Ruto is a man of God and respects the law and he should step down and let the people of Kenya have their will.
“The people’s will is God’s will and that is what should happen. He says that he is a man of God, he respects righteousness and the rule of law. So let him follow. Live up to what he has been prophesying.”
Raila is on Sunday, holding a mega rally at the Jacaranda grounds dubbed “No Handshake”, where he is expected to give ‘further directions’ to his supporters.
Raila in the video, added that the evidence they have shows that they were voted for overwhelmingly in Central region where their opponents claim they didn’t receive many votes.
“I want to thank them for their patriotic duty. What happened is not their mistake. Their will was subverted by agents of impunity at the Bomas of Kenya,” he said.
