Through a phone interview, Raila stated:
“I would rather call it coronation than inauguration because we don’t believe that he’s been legitimately elected as the leader of Kenya. He was elected on the 26th October by less than 20% of voters in the country and does not have the legitimacy of the presidency of Kenya.”
Asked on whether he has been in touch with Uhuru Kenyatta or whether he has been offered to take part in government, Raila revealed that they have not spoken.
“I’ve not had any contacts at all you need to know that we are not just looking for positions in government. What we want is electoral justice and that every vote that is cast at the polling stations counts,” stated Raila.
“Today is the wrong time to do celebrations when more than 30 of our people are lying in the mortuary,” he added.
