SC Reveals Why He Cannot Act For Ruto in Election Petition; Who Ruto Has Allegedly Chosen as Finance CS and Majority Leader & Uhuru Allegedly in Dilemma on How to Deal With Ruto

Good morning,

Azimio – One Kenya coalition flagbearer Raila Odinga is today set to file a petition at the Supreme Court in a bid to convince judges that IEBC was involved in a series of fraudulent activities calculated to deny him a win in the election.

Raila, who has reportedly assembled more than 30 lawyers to argue out his case in the upcoming presidential election petition, will be hoping to make history once again if his prayers will be answered by the 7-judge bench.

Raila’s camp claims to have watertight evidence and strongly believes the apex court will nullify Ruto’s victory with the legal team set to table a damning audit report that warned of rogue IEBC employees who were involved in fraudulent manipulation.

Moreover, the petition reportedly has evidence that Azimio agents were allegedly chased away from polling centres at the beginning of polling in the Mount Kenya region on claims that Azimio is not a political party.

Do you think Azimio has a water-tight case that could lead to the nullification of Ruto’s win?
