Kenyatta reaches out to Raila after poll win

President-elect Uhuru Kenyatta has reached out to his opponent in Tuesday’s election, NASA presidential candidate Raila Odinga. In his acceptance speech after being declared the election winner by IEBC Chairman Wafula Chebukati, President Kenyatta called on Odinga, his supporters and MPs elected under his coalition to accept his olive branch and “work to grow Kenya together.”
“As I said to my worth opponents, especially my brother, the Right Honourable Raila Odinga I reach out to you; I reach out to all your supporters… I reach out to all who are elected on now the Opposition benches.
We shall work together, we shall partner together, we shall grow together, we shall develop this nation together. We are there, ready to dialogue, to discourse and engage so that we can build this nation together, he said.
“As in any competition there will be winners and losers, I extend a hand of partnership.”
Odinga has refused to accept the results of the presidential election, which he claims was rigged in favour of Kenyatta, saying he doesn’t “trust” the forms that could have been “manipulated already.”
Odinga insists that the IT system of the electoral commission had been hacked and Kenya was witnessing the worst “voter theft” in its history. But the electoral commission said that while there had been an attempt to hack its system, it had failed. President Kenyatta equally promised to serve all Kenyans without any bias, favour or discrimination.
