Deputy President William Ruto has said that former NASA presidential candidate should not run away from the repeat presidential polls.
This is after Raila announced that he will not take in the polls scheduled for August 26 citing that the opposition did not have trust in IEBC.
Ruto asked why Odinga was running away from repeat poll when he had claimed he had won and had the numbers.
“Mr Odinga you had claimed you had won. Don’t run away. You have been given another chance to win,” said Ruto.
He maintained that President Uhuru Kenyatta won the August 8 election and will triumph again on October 26 with or without Odinga on the ballot.“It is evident President Kenyatta won the August 8 elections and he will win again in October 26 with a bigger margin,” Ruto said.
“They have done their calculations and they know they cannot defeat Jubilee in the elections. All these high sounding words they are using are mere excuses,” the Deputy President said.
The Deputy President spoke when he received former ODM Kajiado Governor David Nkedianye who decamped to Jubilee.
