KENYA OPPOSITION TO CONTEST POLL RESULTS IN COIRT
The Kenyan opposition presidential candidate Raila Odinga says they are moving to the Supreme Court to contest President Uhuru Kenyatta win in August 8 poll.
Mr Odinga, who ran in the opposition’s Nasa coaltion, on Wednesday labelled Mr Kenyatta’s victory as "computer-generated."
Mr Kenyatta was declared by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) as the winner of the presidential elections that were deemed by international observers as fair and credible.
Presidents from all East African Community member states have since congratulated Mr Kenyatta for his victory.
Mr Odinga said their decision to fight Mr Kenyatta in court was partly informed by the ongoing crackdown on pro-democracy civil societies, including the Africa Centre for Open Governance and Kenya Human Rights Commission.
Their mission in the top court in the land, Mr Odinga said, is to "demonstrate to the whole world the making of a computer-generated president".
"We will show the world how the figures were cooked," Mr Odinga said at Okoa Kenya offices in the capital Nairobi.
"Kenyans will not agree to be led by computer generated leaders."
Results streamed by the IEBC, he said, were not backed by forms 34B, the documents signed by party and candidates' agents in constituencies.
"Yesterday (Tuesday) Chiloba admitted that all forms 34B were not in and, therefore, results were null and void," he said, referring to IEBC CEO Ezra Chiloba.
"Uhuru wasn't supposed to be declared as the winner."
