Africa-Press – Kenya. <\/strong><\/span>Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga now claims that his election victory was stolen at the national tallying centre and not at the polling stations. Raila maintained that votes were stolen at Bomas of Kenya in Nairobi, and not at the polling stations as leaders of the coalition have claimed.<\/p>\n

Azimio chief agent Saitabao Kanchory had earlier claimed that Raila lost the election because the coalition did not have representatives in some polling stations. Kanchory further claimed that Raila\u2019s most trusted lieutenants, among them Suna East MP Junet Mohamed, mismanaged the election agents.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Citizen TV in an interview that was aired on December 27, Raila said he did not lose the election because Azimio did not handle the issue of agents well.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur votes were stolen at the tallying centre and not at the polling stations. Our campaigns were the most organised,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n

\u201cEven if there were no agents, then it shouldn\u2019t be a license for anyone to steal elections.\u201d Raila said the electoral agency must ensure votes of all candidates are protected whether they have agents at the polling stations or not.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt shouldn\u2019t be that when a candidate doesn\u2019t have an agent at a particular polling station, then his or her votes are stolen,\u201d he explained. Raila garnered 6.94 million votes (48.85 per cent) behind President William Ruto who managed 7.18 million votes (50.49 per cent).<\/p>\n
