President-elect Wiliam Ruto has asked the seven Judges bench of the Supreme Court to dismiss the case filed by Azimio la Umoja leaders, Raila Odinga and Martha Karua challenging his victory.
Hon. Ruto who has been named as the ninth respondent in the petition, says that the alleged errors and irregularities named in the petition by Raila and Karua do not exist.
According Hon. Ruto, Raila Odinga, and Martha Karua, produced falsified logs in support of their claims on an alleged external IP address forms.iebc.co.ke/login and the alleged hacking/infiltration of IEBC systems.
Further, Ruto in an affidavit, states that the falsified logs resemble the same logs Raila submitted before the Supreme Court during the 2017 presidential petition.
Nonetheless, Hon. Ruto states that the shock and awe albeit humanly impossible allegations that he intercepted, staged, altered, and dumped more than 11,000 forms 34A within an incredibly short span of 8 minutes.
According to Hon. Ruto, the said allegations are copy-pasted from President Donald Trump’s spurious allegations in 2020, which incredibly suggest that Ruto achieved the humanly impossible feat of altering the said forms 34A.
“… on the matter, it begs reason why any rational person would engage in a such alleged interception, staging alteration, and dumping only to steal less than 3,000 votes,” said Hon. Ruto in an affidavit.
Hon. Ruto said in Court documents that he is certain that IEBC conducted the election in substantial compliance with the principles laid down in Law, particularly articles; 1,3,10,38,81,86, and 138 of the Constitution of Kenya 2010.
Further, he said that the polling station being the locus for the free election, he is satisfied that the voting, counting, and declaration of the results were conducted in a free, fair, simple, transparent, accurate, and verifiable manner.
