PRETORIA-(MaraviPost)-South African opposition politician Julius Malema has called on his Kenyan counterpart Raila Odinga to concede defeat to President-elect William Ruto after the August 2022 polls.
Malema who is Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party leader, observes that Odinga risks being remembered as a person who brought instability, and uncertainty to African governance.
“We call on Raila Odinga to accept the election’s outcome, and not form part of a tradition of causing instability, and uncertainty on African governance,” observes Malema
Malema further calls on Odinga to humble himself as a leader who believes in democracy.
“Odinga must humble himself, and form part of a government that will address the challenges confronting the people of Kenya, and not allow history to remember him as an individual who was desperate for power, at the cost of the progress of his nation.”
The South African leader also reveals he had shared a telephone conversation with President-Elect William Ruto and congratulated him for winning the election.
The Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commision (IEBC) in Kenya announced Ruto as the outright winner of the polls conducted in the country few days ago and gazetted him as President-elect.
Odinga who was few votes behind Ruto says is against the results and recently moved the matter to court to challenge IEBC’s findings.
