Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Narok Senator Ledama Olekina has said disgruntled regions in the country may in the future push for secession.<\/p>\n

Posting on his Twitter account Saturday morning, Ledama said this might be caused by what he termed as constrained civil liberties.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe pursuit of our civil liberties will one day, maybe in our lifetime lead to secession, unless we all agree to disagree,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

His remarks were in an apparent reference to Azimio’s Raila Odinga poll.<\/p>\n

Raila lost the August 9 general elections to the Kenya Kwanza candidate William Ruto.<\/p>\n

This was Raila’s fifth presidential election loss.<\/p>\n

William Ruto garnered 7.1 million votes against Raila’s 6.9 million votes.<\/p>\n

This prompted Raila to file a petition at the Supreme Court, challenging the results.<\/p>\n

The apex court however upheld the results, confirming Ruto as the president-elect.<\/p>\n

Although Azimio’s big three: Raila, Narc Kenya leader Martha Karua and Wiper’s Kalonzo Musyoka accepted the verdict, they disagreed with the court findings.<\/p>\n

Ruto’s succession has been termed by the Azimio leaders as the beginning of the end of multi-party democracy.<\/p>\n

On Friday, Karua condemned Kenya Kwanza’s “big” reaping.<\/p>\n

Azimio has suffered blows since August 15, with member parties and members decamping to the Ruto-led camp.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a deliberate and sustained offensive to decimate the opposition and return the country to a de facto one-party state,\u201d Karua said then.<\/p>\n

On November 2017, after his election loss, Raila made similar secession comments urging his supporters to boycott Safaricom.<\/p>\n

He claimed they were involved in vote rigging, Safaricom however denied the claims.<\/p>\n

He, however, later called off the boycott.<\/p>\n
