Kakamega governor Wycliff Oparanya Alleges Why IEBC has Suspended Kakamega and Mombasa gubernatorial elections
Kakamega governor Wycliff Oparanya now saya the move by The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) to suspend the Kakamega and Mombasa gubernatorial elections is to rig elections.
Through his official Facebook page he wrote “IEBC decision to suspend gubernatorial elections in Kakamega and Mombasa counties is a scheme to rig the elections. The announcement has shocked us considering the amount of resources and time we have put in campaigns and shows how unprepared the IEBC is to conduct free, democratic and fair elections,” said the Kakamega governor.
He questioned why IEBC suspended elections in Raila Odinga’s strongholds and backyards of two key ODM deputy Party Leaders noting that the announcement has caused tension.
“I question why they had to stop gubernatorial elections in Azimio presidential candidate Rt Hon Raila Odinga’s strongholds and backyards of two key ODM deputy Party Leaders.I am fearing that the move will affect voter turnout in the two counties that Raila was banking on for numbers that will propel him to victory,” he said.
“The announcement has caused tension in the county and can cause chaos if not handled well.
Despite the setback I call on our supporters to turn out in large numbers tomorrow and vote for Azimio candidates and also be calm and maintain peace as the matter is being handled.
They have only delayed our victory but it is still ours for the taking,” he added.
Oparanya is a staunch supporter of the opposition leader Raila Odinga’s presidential bd in tomorrow’s general elections.
H e is a big critique of the deputy president William Ruto’s presidential bid terming him as corrupt and not fit to lead this nation.
Deputy president William Ruto will be facing thee opposition leader Raila Odinga who will be vying for the fifth time in a row.
Ruto has declared his interest for the presidency but his bid has been rubbished by thee dynasties led by COTU Secretary general Francis Atwoli and Jubilee party Vice Chairman David Murathe terming him as corrupt and cannot be trusted with the country’s.
