Raila Odinga has withdrawn from the October 26 presidential race and demanded that IEBC calls a fresh election.

The decision is in Kenya’s interest and is “a win-win for everyone”, the NASA leader said on Tuesday.

The former Prime Minister said it is only through his withdrawal that the country will have a free and fair election as per the law.

But IEBC told The Star the Opposition leader’s withdrawal had already been overtaken by time as he was to do it within three days of being gazetted.

It also comes a day after President Uhuru Kenyatta dared the ODM leader to quit the race and allow the country to move on.

However, Raila says that in 2013, the Supreme Court expanded the meaning of Article 138(8) (b) to include withdrawal of a presidential candidate.

“The Supreme Court clarified that the relevant article is 138 (8) (b) which deals with cancellation of a presidential election, in the event of the death of the president or the deputy, on or before the scheduled date. The Supreme Court expanded the clause to include when a candidate withdraws from the presidential election,” Raila said.

“The implication of this provision is that upon our withdrawal, the election scheduled for October 26 stands cancelled.”

Raila said his withdrawal requires the commission chaired by Wafula Chebukati to conduct fresh nominations as provided for in Elections Act 2011, Section 13 (1).

The provision states: “A political party shall nominate its candidates for an election under this act at least ninety days before a general election under this Act in accordance with its constitution rules.”

Fresh nominations will allow other candidates, such as Thirdway Alliance leader Ekuru Aukot, to join the race

Saving face.
In his retirement, he wants to hold the title of the man whose victory was stolen.
Not the man who lost 5 times.
That way he might scoop a few paid lectures overseas.

Fresh elections ni 2022.

10

But to withdraw, he has to write to IEBC officially

11

They had intelligence. That means nasa is leaking and all their plans are known

12

SMH, basi uhuru aapishwe kesho!

13

Who is he to direct IEBC? Who is he?

14

Hehehe…Atleast sasa kura ni rahisi. Aukot aingie hii kiwanja and dida as well. At least IEBC hawatachoma pesa za Ballot. Meanwhile pesa za Paybill zimeenda kununua ploti london…hehehe

15

Then Uhuru will be declared as president . Only way elections can be stopped is if Raila decides to kill himself , which i’m sure he won’t take that path . The court ordered for a new election between Raila and Uhuru , can Raila decide to hand the baton over to someone else ? Will that be allowed ? Won’t that be against the court order ? Won’t that need another court case ?

:eek::D:D:D

17

I hope the fresh elections are pushed to 2022, everything is slowing down at an alarming rate

18

Let him put it in writing and issue it to IEBC. Kaput. Kwisha. Takataka. ReTired.

IEBC to declare President Uhuru reelected and we be sworn in. Jubilee continue to govern.

RAT knew he was going to get a massive beating on 26th. The defections were gaining momentum daily. He would have been lucky to get 3 million votes.

Good riddance to bad trash.

RWNEBP confirmed.

19

Economy iko down…a win-win, na for the greater good would be elections 2012. I’m sure Uhuru won’t pull a Magufuli/Kagame on us waanze changes to increase term.

Na sasa ule mwenye alivunjwa hip bone jana…ehhh:D:D:D
