Barely two weeks after President Ruto Succeeded Uhuru as the president and commander in Chief of the Defense forces of Kenya, Raila Odinga has publicly stated that the fear of the coercive power of the International Criminal Court made him concede defeat.
The prospect of death and bloodshed as a result of post-election violence, as well as the threat of International Criminal Court (ICC) charges, forced Azimio leader Raila Odinga to accept President William Ruto’s disputed victory.
Mr Odinga, the Azimio la Umoja One Kenya Coalition party leader, poured his heart out to his presidential campaign team on Thursday night, explaining why he let go of his “poll victory” without calling for mass protests.
For the first time since the August 9 election result was declared and the subsequent Supreme Court ruling that affirmed President Ruto’s victory, Mr Odinga came out to tell the men and women who spearheaded his fifth presidential bid about his struggles to build a democratic Kenyan society and how his attempts to win the top job have failed multiple times.
