The leader of the Roots party, George Wajackoyah, now claims that 2.8 million votes were stolen from him in the previous election.
Wajackoyah went on to say that he had decided to support Raila Odinga’s efforts to fight for Kenyans’ rights without going into further detail and that he, too, had had his votes taken away.
“Ruto must go. Gachagua must go!” Wajackoyah chanted while speaking at a rally in Jacaranda grounds.
Wajackoyah also claimed that within the Azimio coalition, there were cartels working with Ruto behind Raila’s back.
“I want to warn the cartels who are here. Today you are in Jacaranda, at night you are Sugoi,” he said.
Wajackoyah also pleaded with Raila Odinga to back him up in defending his party, which he claimed Attorney General Justin Muturi wanted to disband due to its marijuana ties.
Wajackoyah and his Agano Party counterpart David Mwaure were among the first to congratulate President William Ruto following the Supreme Court’s validation of his victory in the August 9 General Election.
He had made it clear, however, that he would continue to hold the government accountable now that the decision had been made.
