Former Presidential Aspirant Reuben KIgame has weighed in on US Ambassador to Kenya Meg Whitman’s remarks that Kenya’s 2022 August elections were free and fair.
On his Twitter account, he said the 2022 Presidential elections were not free and fair at all
“I want to tell the whole world including the United States and President William Ruto that the 2022 Kenya elections were not free and fair at all. You can wish and pretend they were, but you know the truth and by the way, it’s not about Azimio 2022 losing,” his tweet read.
Whitman while speaking during the devolution conference termed last year’s general elections as free and fair.
Whitman’s remarks sparked mixed reactions as some were of the opinion that indeed the elections were free and fair, while others disagreed with her.
The ambassador said last year’s elections were the most credible the country has ever had.
“I arrived in Kenya days before the general election, and what I witnessed was short of remarkable.
“The election was observed by local and international election organizations and the results were upheld by the Kenyan Supreme Court and power was transferred orderly and peacefully at the time,” she said.
Azimio Chief Raila Odinga called out the ambassador saying she was meddling in Kenya’s political affairs.
