Azimio la Umoja One Kenya coalition Raila Odinga has dismissed claims by his political rivals that he will rig the August election.


Raila was speaking in Bungoma County on Sunday when he held a political rally where he guaranteed the voters that most votes that will be cast on the election day will be in his favour therefore there would be no point at all in the rigging.

The former premier said his competitors have already sensed defeat and are up with flimsy excuses such as accusing him of rigging.

“The people in ‘tangatanga’ already know they are going to lose and that is why they claim there is a plot to steal votes, there is no point to steal votes. How will I steal votes yet they are all mine,” Raila chided.
