Ngunjiri said making allegations on how the August 9, polls were rigged will not change anything at the moment.


Former Nyeri Town MP Ngunjiri Wambugu has asked the Jubilee Party SG Jeremiah Kioni to stop making allegations of rigging with regard to the August 9, 2022, polls.

In a statement on Facebook on Thursday,  Ngunjiri asked Kioni to let bygones be bygones because they have already moved on.

He said making allegations on how the August 9, polls were rigged will not change anything at the moment.

"My Party SG & Elder Brother Hon Kioni needs to let go of this thing. Where we have reached it doesn’t matter what the truth is anymore. It’s too late & a majority of Kenyans have moved on; even those of us directly affected. We are where we are. It is what it is," Kioni said.

This comes after Kioni claimed that Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga won 2022, August 9 General election before the results were manipulated.

Speaking during a press conference on Wednesday, January 18, the former Ndaragwa MP alleged that Raila Odinga won the election with 8.1 million votes while President William Ruto got 5.9 million votes.

“What has been verified so far shows that Raila won the election with 8,170,355 votes representing 57.53 percent of the votes cast. Ruto got 5,915,973 votes representing 41.66 percent of the votes cast,” Kioni stated.

He also alleged that most of the manipulation took place in the Mt Kenya region according to research done by Vanguard Africa, a non-profit organization that partners with leaders in Africa.

“Most of the manipulation that was done happened within the Mt.Kenya region,” Kioni added.

He further stated that Azimio leader Raila Odinga will give a comprehensive statement when he comes back.

Raila had flown out of the country on Friday, January 13, for a one-week tour in South Africa. ‘
