Kenya Kwanza leaders hit back at Uhuru over Raila’s 2022 election claim
Wetangula questioned why Uhuru peacefully handed over power to President William Ruto if he believed Odinga had won the election.
Nairobi, Kenya, Sep 25 – Kenya Kwanza leaders have lashed out at former President Uhuru Kenyatta for alleging that the late Prime Minister Raila Odinga won the 2022 presidential election. National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetangula, who led the criticism, questioned Uhuru's peaceful transfer of power to President William Ruto if he believed Odinga had won the election.
Wetangula accused Uhuru of attempting to discredit Ruto's administration and questioned why he hadn't campaigned more for Odinga in his Mt Kenya political base. Other Kenya Kwanza leaders, including Senate Majority Leader Aaron Cheruiyot, Senator Vincent Kiprono, and Governor Fernandes Barasa, echoed Wetangula's sentiments, urging Uhuru to respect the 2022 election results and move on peacefully.
They also condemned efforts to undermine the Kenya Kwanza administration, vowing their continued support and citing various government projects in Western Kenya as reasons to back their candidate, Moses Wetangula, in the 2032 presidential election.
