MPs Moses Kuria (Gatundu South), Kanini Kega (Kieni), Gideon Keter (nominated), and Catherine Waruguru (Laikipia) were among those who said IEBC has no option but to hand victory to their candidate.Kuria referred his own example in 2014, saying IEBC declared him the winner of a by-election after his sole challenger, Joachim Kamere, pulled out of the race.“A precedent was set in August 2014 when my name was gazetted as the Gatundu MP less than two weeks to the elections. This was after my competitor, on his own volition, opted out of the race. Since Raila has done the same, we expect IEBC to declare Kenyatta elected unopposed,” said Kuria.IEBC is expected to announce its next move following the withdrawal of NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga.
