Opposition coalition NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga has warned President Uhuru Kenyatta against manipulating the August polls in Jubilee's favour.
Speaking on Tuesday, the former Prime Minister further claimed that President Kenyatta and his Deputy William Ruto have sensed defeat, citing the duo's Sunday remarks in Turkana where they accused the Judiciary of allegedly plotting to aid a NASA election win through the "backdoor."
Raila also noted that NASA was on guard to ensure that the upcoming polls represent the will of the people, adding that they are keen to seal all possible rigging loopholes.
“Having had the experience of two very tainted elections, we are fully prepared to protect our vote and avoid electoral theft. We wish to warn him again not to even dare think of rigging the forthcoming election. Mr President, don’t ruin our country for your selfish interests,” he said.
This year's elections have been earmarked by pundits as neck to neck affair.
Raila and Uhuru are the only frontrunners despite the presidential seat attracting six other candidates.
