The Kenyan Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has announced this Sunday the beginning of an investigation to determine the validity of a document presented by the opposition movement Azimio la Umoja, led by former Prime Minister Raila Odinga, who accuses the current president of the country, William Ruto, of committing fraud in the elections of August 9 of last year.
The case remains in the hands of the head of the DCI, Mohamed Amin, now in charge of determining whether the dossier presented by the movement could contain “falsifications” in his accusations to the Independent Electoral Commission, which he has accused of favoring the current president and winner. of the elections
Odinga assures that the report contains truthful information from a “confidant” of the Commission, which “reflects the true result of the elections”, reports the Sunday edition of the newspaper ‘The Nation’.
The opposition leader has been bathing crowds these days in various cities of the country until a final rally this Sunday in the capital, Nairobi, in which he has insisted that his party won victory “by more than two million votes Of diference”.
“Azimio stands firm in his fight for the millions of Kenyans who gave us a decisive victory. The regime led by Ruto must go. No handshake, no deals, no agreements, no withdrawal!” Odinga has assured through a message on his Twitter account.
It is not the first time that Odinga, backed by the outgoing president, Uhuru Kenyatta, has rejected the results of the elections in which Ruto won with 50.5 percent of the vote, alleging fraud. In addition, he refused to attend the inauguration of his successor, which took place on September 13.
The Supreme Court of Kenya rejected in September the appeals presented by the opposition and endorsed the victory of Ruto, until then vice president of the country and estranged from Kenyatta due to his constant tensions in recent years.
Last week Ruto denounced the existence of a plot to kidnap and assassinate the head of the electoral commission, Wafula Chebukati, after the ratification of his victory in the presidential elections last summer.
“Those were hard, cold and lonely moments, the threats were great, but the promised rewards have been abundant,” he said, before accusing the “system” of this alleged plan to assassinate Chebukati.
