'It is Hard to Rig an Election in Kenya': DP Ruto Says 2007 Election was Not Rigged

Deputy President William Ruto says he does not believe the 2007 presidential election was rigged as it is generally claimed.

Ruto, who was among the ODM leaders who rejected the results of the 2007 presidential election, said ODM did not verify rigging claims.

ODM and its presidential candidate Raila Odinga refused to concede defeat after Mwai Kibaki was declared the winner of the contest by the electoral commission.

“We didn’t get to a point where we tested what we were saying against what was announced. If we had gone to an election petition as NASA did in 2017, we would have not proved the elections were rigged,” the DP said.

Ruto insisted that Jubilee won both the 2013 and 2017 presidential elections fair and square, adding that it is hard to rig an election in Kenya and get away with it.
 
“From where I sit, it is not easy to rig an election and get away with it. Any election that is rigged, people go to court and they overturn them. The best way to know whether an election was rigged is to subject it to due process,” said Ruto.

He also took a dig at ODM leader Raila Odinga and dismissed as a fallacy, the notion that elections are stolen and not won.

“There is a narrative that is being weaved that elections are not won but they are stolen. These are people who cannot leave with the reality that it is possible to lose an election. You have heard them talk about winning the elections but their win was stolen because they didn’t have the system and deep state,” Ruto said.

    Ruto knows he has rigged many elections but he now wants to tell us otherwise! We are not fools Ruto!!

  3. Ruto killed many women and…
    Ruto killed many women and children to satisfy his blood thirst in 2007! Many innocent folks were displaced from the Rift Valley! Ruto used coded language through Sang and other kalenjin men armed with poisoned arrows to kill Kikuyus!

    No wonder Uhuru is fighting this beast called Ruto! And those children who survived are still nursing scars while Ruto stole property belonging to their children! Haiwezekani for Ruto to lead Kenya! No, no, no!!!

    Why now admit the election where you killed so many Kenyans was not rigged! That is why you don’t deserve to be president in 2022!! You will kill all over again!!

  4. In 2007, members of my…
    In 2007, members of my family lost everything they owned in Eldoret and UasinGishu! Many died trying to run for their dear lives. We should never forget 2007 and what DP Ruto did!

    The civil war to kick Kikuyus out of the Rift Valley was mainly sponsored by DP Ruto, while Journalist Sang was Ruto’s spokes person! What happened in Eldoret must never be forgotten!

    Everything my family members owned (land, businesses, houses, livestock, etc) then was stolen by the kalenjin! Most of them have now settled in central province and they are doing ok!

    Many have scars all over their bodies! As we approach 2022, let Ruto not lie to you that he cares about Kikuyus! Electing Ruto to be the president of Kenya would be a big insult to many who suffered in his hands in 2007!

    In 1992, YK92 youth under the direct instructions from Ruto carried out the same mayhem in Eldoret and Nakuru! Many were killed and others displaced! Ruto has a known pattern of hatred toward the Kikuyus!

  5. And I say, “happy damn Ruto!…
    And I say, “happy damn Ruto!!” Why did you kill so many innocent Kenyans if Kibaki did not rig the election?? You just exonerated baba Jimmy for you personally claimed and lied the election was rigged!

    After all the blood shed, now Ruto confuses the 2007 election was not rigged! Can you now apologize for all the lies you peddled around which caused the temperatures to raise to unknown levels? Ruto, you caused many to die!! The ICC should re-look your stupid case!!

    Ruto should resign from the DP position! He is a liar and untrustworthy! Ruto cause Kenyans to die in 2007 for our apparent reason! Resign DP Ruto!!!!

    The election stealing narrative strictly came from Ruto himself? What is DP Ruto saying now? He needs to closely explain!!

    Ruto is a conman! He is now talking about rigging to aggravate baba! No one can trust a bonafide liar!

  10. You are now lying with your…
    You are now lying with your eyes open. It has been done before and you are doing it NOW. You are guilty of a serious electoral offence for bribery. You are buying Kenyan’s with money you have been stealing from them.

    • Wow, say that again! Kenyans…
      Wow, say that again! Kenyans take note and act in a precisely purposeful manner.Ruto is not the man for you! Kenya is at a crossroads!

  11. Kenyans can not afford the…
    Kenyans can not afford the luxury of allowing DP Ruto to make them frustrated and exhausted by his thoughtless rhetorics of what he personally did in 2007 which caused many Kenyans (mostly women and children) to die.

    We must rise up to the occasion of the moment and deny Ruto the opportunity to be elected president in 2022! Ruto is stocking fear in the minds of Kenyans just the same way he did in 2007. Kenyans are far much better than what Ruto thinks of them!

  12. Ruto man is a devil who has…
    Ruto man is a devil who has killed many Agīkūyūs and stolen their property. He also was in charge of RIGGING in almost half of the current MPs in the parliament and more so in the Mount Kenya region truth be told. Moses Kūrīa in Gatūndū, Ndindi Nyoro Kīharū, Rigathi in Mathira, Kiambu former governor Waititū among many others including Mijimiji aka Waigūrū who stole from Martha Karūa.

    • The rigged in politicians…
      The rigged in politicians have stayed faithful and royal to Ruto. Nearly all the politicians from the Rift Valley were rigged in by Ruto! He was aligning all the counties with politicians who will favor him in 2022 general election.

      We must change this culture of thieves getting voted to elective offices! We must do so by voting Ruto our come 2022! We must change the way people’s business in conducted in Kenya!

  13. Ruto was right there inside…
    Ruto was right there inside KICC when things were taking ugly turn. I remember him contesting the Molo results which was supposed to be 75,000 but ECK had a different result. I thought Husler ought to be smarter than this.

  14. Hey Guys am a proud gikuyu…
    Hey Guys am a proud gikuyu maumau damu!Yes Ruto was the man who is the chairman of rift valley at 2007 chaos but can somebody remind me he was working on behalf of who???Let me give u an pure answer?Muuaji Rao of 1982 /07/08 coup where thousands left dead,no raila no peace,2013/2017 chaos where over 100 died.So I would like to hear if ur not in support of Ruto?Who ru supporting??.If we not going to support someone like clean Ekuru Aokot for presidency then we should all shallap n wait for us to make another bullshit/bullcrap mistake of supporting stupid BBI beba baba ikulu nonsense.Shidwe sisi

  15. Ruto is sending various…
    Ruto is sending various subliminal
    Messages to confuse the voters! He hopes to rekindle his relevance by creating several sets of confused narratives!

    He wants to make people to forget his 2007 crimes where women and children died in his bloody hands! And the get away corruption Ruto has presided over for a long time since 1992, the infamous YK92! This man Euro must be stopped by all means necessary!

    But Kenyans have wisened up not to elect a thief and a murderer to the highest office in the land! Ruto will use all the money (in billions of dollars and shillings) he has stolen from the people to buy the election!

    Once elected, and God forbid, Ruto will be the most corrupt president in the face of the earth. He will remove other Kenyans from the Rift Valley. And give everything to the corrupt kalenjin! Mark my words; ruto has a soul of a seven horned beast! The beast is described some where as the Satan; the prince of death and darkness! Kenyans – the beast will bring tribulation in Kenya – is this why Kenyans want! Not at all!!

    Ruto will continue to steal and many innocent Kenyans will be killed by team-ruto at the instructions of ruto. Kenyans must reject the kind of dirty politics Ruto practices; because power corrupts and once in power, Ruto will kill many in a Kenya, and corruption will exponentially grow to uncontrollable levels!

    Chose wisely Kenyans! Rest Kenya will go in flames under Ruto!!

  16. @murathe – Ruto is working…
    @murathe – Ruto is working hard to create a narrative that will drag you to a conversation with him! Ruto is insultingly talking to Uhuru through you!

    In the recent events, Ruto is directly talking to Uhuru in the name of insulting Murathe! Ruto’s insults are directed to Uhuru as the head of state. Ruto is very bitter with Uhuru because he sees his political deck of cards Crumbling right in his face! Ruto knows 99% of central votes will be cast at the direction of Uhuru! He knows these votes have evaporated right in his eyes!

    Ruto is working hard to force Uhuru to talk. The devil and ruto are one and the same thing! And, just like the Devil himself hates silence, Ruto hates Uhuru’s silence.

    Ruto has attacked Murathe and Raila but making so many unsubstantiated claims as he hopes to force Uhuru to directly say something to him! Uhuru need to completely cut links with Ruto and politically destroy Ruto for good!!

  17. Ni ajabu Ndugu yetu Ruto…
    Ni ajabu Ndugu yetu Ruto anatufikiria sisi kama watu walio na uwezo wa kumbukuka kama yule mnyama anayeitwa ngiri (warthog), Mnyama huyu anasahau kila kitu baada ya sekondi 27.

  18. Jameni! Kama vile ufuasi wa…
    Jameni! Kama vile ufuasi wa dini za kigeni umeongoza uhalifu mwingi nchini. Mfumo wa siasa za “kidemokrasia” umeshindwa kuwa mfumo wa kuleta haki kwa wapiga kura duniani kote.
    Wakati sasa umefika kutupilia mbali mifumo ya kigeni kama vile imani ya dini za kigeni na mfumo wa kidemokrasia.
    Ni lazima tuanze upya katika fikira zetu huku tukitumia zawadi kubwa sana tuliyopewa na MWUMBAJI MKUU WA VITU VYOTE inayoitwa AKILI.
