Here is the full statement titled: "Kenyans Say No to Computer Generated Leader" that was read by Raila at the Okoa Kenya offices in Lavington, Nairobi.
My fellow Kenyans,
My fellow Kenyans,
For the third straight election in a row, the voice of
the people has been stilled, and for the third time in a
decade, the candidate who lost the election has been
declared President.
This year, Kenyans excitedly voted in a peaceful
election that even the most democratic nations in
the world would have been proud of. But this
democratic promise abruptly evaporated when those
who wield power clung to their old, no-holds-barred
script of rejecting the people’s democratic will and
holding on to their rule by whatever means.
Once the polls closed last Tuesday, the IEBC began streaming so-called provisional presidential results not backed by Form 34As as required by law. Yesterday, IEBC CEO Ezra Chiloba finally made the stunning admission that the Commission was not able to supply all Form34As yet. This means that both the provisional and final results announced last week are null and void and that Uhuru Kenyatta was not lawfully declared winner.
From the start, the IEBC was illegally releasing unverified results to create the expectation of
an Uhuru Kenyatta victory. This was the equivalent of guaranteeing violence if the final
verified results indicated Uhuru had lost.
Then there was the bizarre phenomenon of Uhuru Kenyatta’s “lead” staying at around a
consistent 11 percent throughout the release of the “results!” surprisingly, this same pattern
also occurred in many gubernatorial races across the country.
Such a fixed margin has never been maintained throughout any democratic election
anywhere in the world. But it happened here because an algorithm had been introduced to rig
the outcome. It happened in full view of all our people and all the election observers.
