Presidential Candidate William Ruto held a meeting with the African Union-COMESA Election Observer Mission at his Karen home on Friday, August 12.

Moreover, the meeting with the deputy president came three days after Kenyans cast votes to choose their preferred candidate.
Furthermore, other international observers present during the meeting included Domituen Ndayizeye (former President of Burundi), Mulatto Teshome (former President of Ethiopia), and Ambassador Marie-Pierre Lloyd.
Likewise, William Ruto said on Twitter that the mission congratulated Kenya and voters on a peaceful election.
“At the Karen Office, held a meeting with the AU-COMESA Election Observer Mission who congratulated Kenya and voters for a peaceful election.” Tweeted the deputy president.

Meanwhile, IEBC says the process has largely been delayed by presidential agents.
However, IEBC chairperson Wafula Chebukati warned them against interrogating the returning officers.
