I wont be surprised when he wins & rejects the results too #AuditIEBCServers # RailaVsIEBC#ElectionsKE@Ericnderi: Baba suggests tht if exams are pushed by 2 weeks children will not die.Question is,if elections are held on 17th will he die?@Dmx254: Its so clear now that NASA isn't ready for any election , why dispute the oct 17th date ? . Nusu mkate politicians. # RailaVsIEBC@Babu_Owino: Until Baba confirms, 17/10/17 remains a statistic. #ElectionsKE # RailaVsIEBC@PaulKiarie_: Raila Odinga has decided that if he doesn't become the President then he better turn Kenya into a failed state! #RailaVsIEBC@leemakwiny: IEBC should not waste their time calling for elections as long as Chiloba is still the Secretariat. # RailaVsIEBC #AuditIEBCServers@A8Maruti: Every now & then IEBC fails Kenyans. We won't let them off the hook this time. They have not audited the system # RailaVsIEB
