Former President Uhuru Kenyatta has today insisted that late former Prime Minister Raila Odinga won the 2022 presidential election. Still, he was shocked to learn that William Ruto was announced as the winner of the high-stakes election.
Speaking on Tuesday as he handed Jubilee Party leadership to Fred Matiangi, Uhuru said Raila Odinga won the 2022 presidential election, and that the number of seats Raila Odinga won in Parliament, the Senate, and gubernatorial positions can vindicate this.
“Raila Odinga won the 2022 elections, but we know what happened. We will not allow it to happen in 2027”, Uhuru said.
He also censured his critics, warning them against dragging him into their political blame game, calling for decorum and restraint as political parties contest for the 2027 General Election.
“I am shocked to hear people saying that we did not help Baba, saying that Uhuru Kenyatta did not win. I was not the one at the ballot; I was just Raila’s handyman,” he noted.
“Using dirty politics will not take us anywhere; let nobody try to divide us. What does it help you? Share your manifesto.”
Mr Kenyatta maintained that his belief in good governance has informed his support for Jubilee Deputy Party Leader Fred Matiang’i for the presidency in the 2027 polls.
“He is respectful, he is not corrupt, he loves Kenyans, he is a hard worker,” he noted.
