The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) is currently verifying presidential election results before declaration of the winner soon.
Amid the tight race pitting William Ruto of Kenya Kwanza and Azimio la Umoja’s Raila Odinga, Babu has questioned Uhuru’s silence.
In a statement on social media on Sunday, August 14, the MP asked the Head of State to act and secure what he terms Raila’s win.
“President Uhuru Kenyatta you must act now or was this a long con? Baba has won the elections just Protect his win. What’s the point of Kenyans voting if we rig out the winner?” He wrote.
