ICT CS Joe Mucheru while speaking to a local Tv station on Sunday, May 30 said Azimio La Umoja One Kenya flag bearer Raila Odinga will win the presidential seat in round one.
The CS attributed his remarks based on polls and public opinion, adding that Mr. Odinga is likely to win without the need for a runoff.
“I don’t think we will go for a round two, I think it will be decided in round one based on what numbers show and what people are saying,” “Baba will emerge top,” That is what I see, as Mucheru and not as the government, this is based on personal experience and what I can see,” he said.
CS Mucheru further added that Raila’s opponents have already sensed defeat and that explains the rampant claims of alleged election rigging.
Moreover, according to Mucheru, DP Ruto’s choice of running mate, does not help matters for his presidential bid.
“I think the other side is afraid. You see even their choice of running mate, I don’t think that person is really helping them, but that is up to them,” he stated.
In addition, the ICT CS downplayed claims on vote rigging, saying that, the IEBC and not the ICT ministry is responsible for conducting credible elections.
Furthermore, he questioned those who were complaining about his political stance adding that William Ruto, a high-ranking public official, despite being a top contestant in the presidential bid is still in office.
