Raila Has Not Withdrawn from the Race, IEBC Says

National Super Alliance (NASA) presidential candidate Raila Odinga has not withdrawn from the race, Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) has said.

In a statement on Wednesday evening, the electoral commission said the former Prime Minister is still in the contest despite announcing he had bowed out.

IEBC says that Odinga was yet to submit a dully filled statutory Form 24A that a candidate is required to fill for him to withdraw from the presidential race.

“The Commission cannot compel a candidate to participate in an election. The law allows a candidate to withdraw his/her candidature by delivering to the Commission a duly filled Form 24A. This Form is provided for by the Elections (General) Regulations.” part of the statement read.

The commission further said that Raila and Kalonzo “however have not submitted the statutory Form.

“Once the Commission receives the requisite Notice from any of the candidates, it will process the same in accordance with the requisite provision of the Law,” IEBC statement futher read.

    Orengo the big mouth did not tell fake Joshua to sign the relevant forms of quitting the race.

    Well, RAO having not officially deserted the race needs to get ready for embarrassment on October 26. He cannot run and hide in the US anymore because Trump will not give him visa. He cannot go to the European countries either because he will be denied there too. So, let’s contain him at home and beat him up badly at the ndebe. This will quieten him once and for all. And all those NASA supporters out there, you’re toast. Canaan is no more; you can read about it in the Holy Bible.

    there you go. Just another scam by this chronic flatulence toxic fume for the country.,

    This man will run rings around everyone until the day. I think he wants to make Jubilee bankrupt in every sense of the word, and we (Kenyans) are just collateral damage as far as he is concerned! Mungu wangu, I did’nt see this coming. This is why MOI dealt with this guy without pity, alijua ni shetani mkubwa. Uhuru aamke as I fear blood shed given unfolding events.

    The IEBC does not know what to do . You can pretend that you did not receive the formal letter but it is old news that Raila will not participate in the election however that does not mean that NASA will dissolve into thin air or that the démonstrations will cease.You do not know what to do now. If there are no élections that means you at some time will be given your marching orders.Time to pack up . Chilobae should have nyakuad for himself one of the Kilimani mums when he was still popular soon the whole IEBC team will be a “has been”. Enjoy your retirement thanks for messing up Kenya only god knows if we will ever recover .

    Imagine having a president who looks like him…pale kwa international jukwaa. He looks like a he-donkey that has smelt the urine of a she-donkey….. Is he laughing or crying?
