To thwart the strategy, the deputy president hinted at preparations to safeguard his votes by establishing a rival tallying center to that of the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).
Raila dismissed Ruto’s appeals to the international community and Kenya Kwanza’s plans to establish an alternative tallying center, saying the Ruto-led team had already smelled loss.
“He is already in panic mode. He is now planning to set up a parallel tallying centre. That is up to him,” Raila said while addressing rallies in Samburu on Tuesday, March 8.
