Ambassador Julius Bitok Wants UDA Nominations Repeated
Uasin Gishu gubernatorial aspirant Ambassador Julius Bitok now wants the UDA gubernatorial nominations in the party repeated.
Speaking to the press at his secretariat Bitok said they believe that the elections were rigged
and were not conducted in a free and fair manner.
“We reject the results because we believe the nominations were rigged. We are aware of many malpractices and it started recruitment of presiding officers and clerks which was done by the certain candidate and the results of the nominations were predetermined much earlier before nomination,” said Bitopk while speaking to the press.
He called upon the UDA party to take stern actions and conduct the exercise afresh since thye were not transparent, free and fair, and not verifiable.
“There were a number of polling STATIONS with ballot starving, voter bribery, vote numbers were varied in favor of the certain candidate.UDA party should stand up \and correct the mess in Uasin Gishu. It is quite unfortunate that they are happening while we are seeing them. We reject all the results for the nomination,” he added.
He said the party officials should use its machinery to determine what happened and the people who were involved.
Bitok said there was widespread violence where his bloggers were attacked and abducted while he was attacked by his competitor.
“I don’t see why a candidate who was involved in electoral malpractices can be given a certificate to represent the party to run for any seat. The elections must be nullified with immediate effect,” he said.
“As governor UDA aspirants we had a meeting and we all agreed that the nominations were sham and should be redone with immediate effect to save the face of the party,” he said.
