Kenya’s President, Uhuru Kenyatta, and the main opposition leader, Raila Odinga, must demonstrate leadership ahead of the rerun of the presidential elections, Abraham Amaliba, a member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has said.
According to him, the entire world is watching how the two leaders will conduct themselves as the country prepares for the rerun of the elections.
The Supreme Court in Kenya on Friday, September 1 annulled the August 2017 presidential results. Citing irregularities, the highest court said a new poll should be held within 60 days.
The election commission had declared incumbent, President Uhuru Kenyatta, the winner of last month's election. But the opposition candidate, Raila Odinga, claimed that the commission's IT system had been hacked to manipulate the results, for which he went to the court with a petition.
Commenting on the matter on TV3’s New Day programme on Saturday September 1, Mr Amaliba said: “This case is the first of its kind in Africa. In my view, it inures to the benefit of both sides in two ways.
“The Kenyatta group will say let’s now show to the people of Kenya we really won the elections and for Odinga’s side, they are now jubilating and if care is not taken, they may forget that elections will take place in 60 days.
“This is the time for Kenyan leaders to show leadership ahead of the elections.”

Amaliba, please if you don't have anything to say , don't say it here.NDC is a big disgrace to African politics, look at all the rots unveiling from SSNIT and other financial scandals. You guys knew the financial rots you have caused and yet were shouting JM Toaso, JM Toaso, shame unto you all.
UHURU PAID SEVERELY FOR DEPORTATION AND MAHAMA VENDETTA YIELDED NO FRUIT. AND ABOVE ALL SHAME UNTO NDCs WHO REJOICED OVER DEPORTATION OF MAC MANU. GOD HATES INJUSTICE, LIES AND WICKEDNESS. MAC MANU AND OTHER NORTH AMERICAN NATIONALS WERE DEPORTED BECAUSE THEY WERE FEARED TO HELP REVEAL THE FRAUD IN THE ELECTORAL SYSTEM. YET WITH THEIR DEPORTATION THE TRUTH COULD STILL NOT BE SUPPRESSED. THANK GOD WE HAVE GOD FEARING, SINCERE AND COURAGEOUS JUDGES IN AFRICA. INFACT I ADMIRE THE JUDGES BY BEING SO QUICK TO DETERMINE THE PETITION.
