Deputy President-elect Rigathi Gachagua has said Raila Odinga should brace himself for a humiliating defeat in the event a presidential election is called for a repeat by the Supreme court.
According to Gachagua, Kenya Kwanza win in a repeat election shall be a reinstatement of the will of the people who had elected him and President-elect William Ruto to the higher office.
“I am very confident that we will even do much better than we did on August 9 should the supreme court order for a repeat election,” he said.
However, the deputy president-elect regarded the cancellation of the election as an unlikely decision to be made by the court.
He added that the majority of Kenyans are already content with the outcome of the just concluded polls.
Moreover, Gachagua asked Raila to accept the decision that shall be made by the court without crying foul as it has happened in the past.
“Once a decision is made by the supreme court to uphold this election, I am calling upon Raila Odinga to quit politics because there will be no handshake or illegal swearing this time round,” the deputy president-elect stated.

Nonetheless, the deputy president-elect made this remarks during the swearing-in ceremony of Mutahi Kahiga as Nyeri County Governor.
In addition, the swearing in Ceremony took place at the newly constructed bus termini. In attendance were; Nyeri County Senator- elect Wahome Wamatinga, all the 30 MCAs-elect and all the 7 MPs-Elect from the County.
Governor Kahiga who will be serving his second term in office noted that he was happy the ‘appointed’ governor tag that was prominently used by detractors during his first term had come to an end.
Besides, Kahiga took over Nyeri county leadership after the death of Wahome Gakuru.
Gakuru passed away in a grisly road accident at Kabati along Thika-Muranga road barely a year after the two had been elected as Deputy and Governor respectively in 2017 general elections.
“I am now happy that those opposed to my administration shall never refer to me as an appointed Governor because I have a direct mandate from you people,” he stated.
Nevertheless, the new Nyeri governor has promised to revolutionize the county health sector by improving delivery of service.
