Mudavadi to Azimio: You’re Losers Stuck in Denial

Prime Cabinet Secretary and the nation’s third in command Musalia Mudvadi has come out to criticize the Azimio coalition calling them losers stuck in denial. This comes after the coalition’s leadership came out to claim that former Prime Minister Raila Odinga emerged winner in the August 2022 elections.  

Mudavadi took to his Twitter handle to express his thoughts on the allegations quoting a saying that he says speaks volumes on winners and losers.

’’There's a saying in life that speaks volumes: "The winners celebrate and move on, while the losers get stuck in explanations of self-denial," read Mudavadi’s tweet.

The Azimio Coalition led by the principals on Thursday promised to unearth what happened during the August polls that gave president William Ruto his win by providing a dossier of what they term as filth.  

The coalition in a statement said their revelation will build on the data and records that will act as evidence released by IEBC whistleblowers.

"The data released by the whistleblowers is a bombshell that compels every Kenyan of goodwill to ask themselves if indeed we still have a democracy,’’ the statement reads in part.

On Wednesday Jeremiah Kioni tabled what he termed as disturbing evidence claiming that Odinga won the 2022 general elections.

" What can be verified is, Raila Odinga won the elections with 8,170,355 votes representing 57.53 per cent of the votes cast. Ruto got 5,915,973 votes, representing 41.66 per cent," Kioni said on Wednesday.

Azimio's allegations are a disparity from the official IEBC results that show that Raila got 6,942,930 votes representing 48.8 per cent of the votes while Ruto garnered 7,176,141 votes (50.5%).

 The statement which was released in the absence of the Azimio leader Raila Odinga was signed by Martha Karua, Kalonzo Musyoka, Wycliffe Oparanya, Jeremiah Kioni, Junet Mohammed, Robert Mbui and Makau Mutua.

Odinga is expected to jet back to the country from his trip in South Africa soon and give the direction of the coalition on the matter.

Azimio leaders insist the evidence in their possession questions the credibility of the presidential election and the legitimacy of the electoral process.
