LoP commends Kenyans for exhibiting maturity in the just concluded election

The Leader of opposition in parliament Mathias Mpuuga has commended Kenya for holding a peaceful election and calls for the same to prevail even after the president-elect has been sworn-in.

Last evening the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, IEBC chair Wafula Chebukati declared Kenya Kwanza’s William Ruto as Kenya’s fifth president after he garnered 50.49% of the total votes cast against his closest contender Ralia Odinga’s 48.8%.

Speaking to KFM, Mpuuga says despite the split in the electoral commission, Kenyans have exhibited a high degree of maturity in this month’s election.

He also expresses confidence in the Kenyan court to independently deal with any petition and challenges that may arise from the August 9^th general election.
