Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu has said that President Uhuru Kenyatta is "illegitimately in office", and should leave State House immediately.

Speaking in Kitui on Saturday, the Wiper Party governor said Uhuru lost to NASA leader Raila Odinga during the August 8 elections.

"We are firm that whoever lost the election should go home and whoever won should occupy statehouse and run the country. On December 12 the winner will no doubt be sworn into office," Ngilu said, as quoted by The Star.

Governor Ngilu said she will be a key speaker during the swearing in.

"The country is hurting. It is hurting because we know very well that the person who took the Bible and swore (as president) did not win the election this year. He should not have done that. For that reason, we should continue reminding Uhuru Kenyatta that he was defeated fairly and squarely by Raila Amolo Odinga," the governor said.

Ngilu said Raila was the man who has the capacity to bring change in the country.
