Leader of Majority in the National Assembly Aden Duale has termed Narc Kenya party leader Martha Karua’s Jubilee rigging claims as sheer lies.
Duale further stated that NARC-K never protested to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission or filed a petition with the Supreme Court on the alleged rigging and electoral malpractices.
“She lost to Governor Anne Mumbi (Waiguru) and must retire from politics graciously. She lacks the moral authority to discuss elections,” added Duale, adding that other losers in the region also claimed to have been rigged out in the Jubilee nominations.
“The highest court in the land (Supreme Court) found there were malpractices in the presidential poll and I believe I was equally a victim as a candidate in Kirinyaga, because the IEBC was unable to offer crucial records demanded of them by the court,” Karua had told K24’s punchline show host Anne Kiguta.
Former Jubilee Party vice chair David Murathe also dismissed Karua’s claims as sour grapes. He added that the NARC-K leader had previously won four times as MP and wondered why she was now protesting over her loss.
“If the election was rigged, how come then Senator Charles Kibiru, who ran as an independent candidate was not rigged out?” he posed, saying Karua was simply seeking sympathy after exhausting court avenues to overturn the Kirinyaga governor poll outcome.
Uhuru Kenyatta’s win in the August 2017 poll was subsequently voided by the Supreme Court on a split decision.
Although Jubilee disagreed with the Supreme Court’s decision, Uhuru and his running mate, William Ruto, agreed to participate in the October 2017 repeat poll boycotted by their main challenger, Raila Odinga of the National Super Alliance (NaSA).

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds
Raila was the hunter now the hunted... how do trust a hyena like Uhuru.. You both greedy... you dug your grave lie in it... What handshake.. Crap...
Babu aje zake,handshake is for all Kenyans, and Kibra believe in handshake, there4, Uhuru And Raila should have different candidates and whoever Will go through Will be thé product of handshake
Babu waja ukoloni bwana, there's no direct ticket
Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
