I will speak up: Uhuru reopens ghosts of contested 2022 presidential election
Uhuru Kenyattas claim that Raila Odinga won the 2022 election has reopened political debate over the contest, while Ruto and his allies reject the claim.
Nairobi, Kenya - The UDA has responded to retired President Uhuru Kenyatta's assertion that late Raila Odinga won the 2022 presidential election. UDA Secretary General Hassan Omar dismissed Uhuru's claim, stating that the retired president remains in a "fool's paradise." Omar firmly stated that President William Ruto emerged victorious in the 2022 election, adding that Uhuru had failed to accept the outcome.
The UDA official further accused Uhuru of attempting to sway the election results, pointing to events surrounding the vote tallying at Bomas of Kenya. Omar also alleged that Ruto's political ascent played a significant role in Uhuru's victories in the 2013 and 2017 elections. He warned that the political rivalry between the two leaders might persist into the 2027 election, with Ruto vying for another term.
