Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya coalition deputy presidential candidate Martha Karua has exuded confidence that they will be victorious once the dispute around the August 9th presidential election is settled.
Karua, who addressed the media on Wednesday, said the coalition will be pursuing all available legal and constitutional avenues to seek justice.
“Our is victory differed but victory is coming home to everyone as we explore all legal and constitutional avenues. Thank you for supporting us and we will not let you down,” said Karua.
Karua further indicated that the Raila Odinga-led coalition bagged a majority of the seats in the National Assembly and one seat less than their rival camp Kenya Kwanza in the senate. She said Azimio will use the numbers to execute and implement their mandate in government.
“Our figures show that we command the National Assembly, in the Senate, our competitors are up by one but in the National Assembly we command,” she added.
Karua was speaking at the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) after a meeting with Azimio-affiliateed leaders who were elected in the just-concluded election.
On Tuesday, Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya coalition presidential candidate Raila Odinga rejected the results of the August 9th presidential election where UDA candidate William Ruto was announced the winner.
Terming the results as null and void, Odinga vowed to challenge Ruto’s victory in court, accusing IEBC Chairperson Wafula Chebukati of violating the Constitution and electoral laws in his decision to declare Ruto the president-elect.
“What we saw yesterday was a travesty of the laws of Kenya by Wafula Chebukati and a minority of IEBC commissioners… The figures announced by Wafula Chebukati are null and void and must be quashed by a court of law. In our view there is no legally declared president-elect,” said Odinga.
“We totally and without reservations reject the presidential results announced yesterday… We are pursuing constitutional and lawful channels and processes to invalidate Mr. Chebukati’s illegal and unconstitutional pronouncement.”

Martha couldn’t even deliver her own polling place, leave alone the entire country! Queen of corruption and impunity! Another narcissist!
Thanks martha, we will have…
Thanks martha, we will have to wait until you win at your home polling station. Yes, you lost your own polling station. Stupidity my have you as its emoji. Those of us who saw the folly of what your sponsor uhuru had done wrote here the day he yapped “hand shake”. I pity raila- kenyatta senior dropped Jaramogi as his deputy and started a campaign to poison kikuyus against him and his family. He used that hate to “contain kikuyus for use” – all he needed to do is shout Jaramogi and kikuyus “came to his political rescue”. More than 50yrs later his son copies the script without shame- like a dumb kid who copies answers and name of the child from whom he tries to cheat- you used the same script on H.E. President elect Ruto. His election shows that the world is just and cannot reward evil. Figure this out- in 1992 Dp ruto supported moi with a passion- he got his name soiled for it- yet moi’s son now shouts how bad he is. In 2002 poor man rallied RV people to a man to vote for you- you lost and became opposition- but you ran away and left him hanging alone. He joined raila and campaigned for him- he paid the price and almost got jailed at ICC- then raila was laughing at him and asking the court to detain him in foreign land. We prayed for him and your behind not to suffer injustice since the warlord was left free. Justice was done and you got elected to the highest office in Kenya. Your election was only possible because of H.E Ruto who again mobilized all RV and others to vote for you 2013/2017A/B. Then his use was over and just like your father unleashed the most juvenile scheme to humiliate another human being that I am ashamed to have been alive to witness. I cried when H.E. Ruto was announced president elect because it shows human beings are just- no one should be rewarded for inflicting pain on others as a hobby. Uhuru needs to apologize
to raila and his family- he never supported him because of love but for selfish use and to torture his deputy. So open was the hypocrisy that he never mentioned his name- only “yule mzee- he has a name!!” if you wanted him elected. I hope one day you will go to a confession both and ask God to cleanse you of the demons of hate that hijacked your faculties. I hope my children will never witness such an ingrate who took peoples generosity for granted just because they believe everyone owes them- muthamaki!!!
Returning officers should go…
Returning officers should go to jail for tampering with election documents and receiving bribes.
Including Chebukati who has eaten too much Ugali.
It’s time electoral commissioners and employers went to jail for altering the number of votes of candidates.

Comrade MsonoBari,
Now this…
Comrade MsonoBari,
Now this statements Martha is talking about tells us that they understand that they lost. Ruto made it very clear there will be no power sharing. Ruto is not Uhuru, Raila won’t force his way again acting like a sitting president.
Raila lost most of the respect when he stopped questioning the government on funds stolen after the handshake, he was holding Uhuru by the balls, he knows too much about Uhuru and goons.
Like I had stated before, Raila made it impossible for Uhuru to Rule,thus the handshake. Ruto won’t play this games.
Our election process has…
Our election process has more oversight than even in the US where it’s computerized and truly opaque. Was there malpractice going on? I bet there was manipulation but not large scale. if the top candidates were not that close, would be impossible to influence the outcome. So the losers should go home content they did their best and it was a close race, and for the sake of peace sacrifice their grievances and congratulate the winner.
