Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga now claims that his election victory was stolen at the national tallying centre and not at the polling stations. Raila maintained that votes were stolen at Bomas of Kenya in Nairobi, and not at the polling stations as leaders of the coalition have claimed. Azimio chief agent Saitabao Kanchory had earlier claimed that Raila lost the election because the coalition did not have representatives in some polling stations. Kanchory further claimed that Raila’s most trusted lieutenants, among them Suna East MP Junet Mohamed, mismanaged the election agents. Raila garnered 6.94 million votes (48.85 per cent) behind President William Ruto who managed 7.18 million votes (50.49 per cent).
