A section of Kenyans took to social media to express their reactions following remarks by presidential candidate Abduba Dida, that president Uhuru Kenyatta and the National Super Alliance candidate Raila Odinga were involved in election malpractice.
Addressing the press at the IEBC national tallying centre Bomas of Kenya on Friday, Dida said the electoral body should disqualify both Uhuru and Raila from the State House race for attempting to rig votes.
"The problem between Jubilee and NASA is that they both fear whoever will outsmart the other in stealing votes" said Dida.
“If IEBC is fair...someone has attempted to steal. There is cheating. If IEBC is fair it should dismiss both,” he added.
His sentiments came days after the opposition team led by the former prime minister alleged that Jubilee hacked the IEBC servers and manipulated the presidential results.
While some people thought Dida was a comedian, others suggested he should be declared the fifth president of Kenya.
Below are some responses from Kenyans on Twitter:
“@CofekBreaking: He speaks his mind. He is unfazed. Comically serious. He dismisses issues, people alike. He means well. He is Abduba Dida
