Raila Set to Head to Supreme Court Over the Announced Presidential Results

Raila stated at the KICC on Tuesday that he will use all legal means available to challenge the results announced on August 15. He chastised Chebukati for announcing the results without consulting with IEBC commissioners.

"Let no one take the law into their own hands. We are pursuing constitutional and lawful channels to invalidate Chebukati's illegal and unconstitutional pronouncement. We are certain that justice will prevail," Azimio leader stated.

Raila dubbed the four IEBC Commissioners who contested the Chebukati results "heroes of the August 9 election."

"We are proud of them and ask them not to fear anything because Kenyans are with them," Raila stated.

On August 15, the four commissioners, led by Juliana Cherera, stated that they cannot take ownership of the results due to the opaque manner in which they have been handled.

"We have made sure that we have improved the standards and we say as a fact, as commissioners we have done a good job. But some things need to be put out there as you can see the four of us are here and not at Bomas where the results are going to be announced because of the opaque nature of how this phase has been handled. We, therefore, cannot take ownership of this result that is going to be announced," Cherera stated.
