Raila’s Lawyer Responds To Claims Of Approving Results Used To Declare Ruto Newly Elected President

IEBC uploaded form 34C, which were used to declare presidential results, on the commission’s website on Wednesday August july 17.

The form, that consists of 459 pages, details the number of votes that each of the four  presidential candidates garnered in each polling station across the country.

The form indicates that the results were signed by three agents of three presidential candidates. Kithure Kindiki, Paul Mwangi and Yagnik Ramji, who represented UDA, Agano party and Roots party respectively, approved the results by appending their signatures.

Raila Odinga’s chief agent Saitabao Kanchory did not sign the document.

Kenyans however took issue with Paul Mwangi who represented the Agano party. Most were convinced that he is the lawyer and writer who is associated with Azimio presidential candidate.

Azimio’s Paul Mwangi has however come out to clarify that he is not the one who signed the form used in the presidential results declaration.

“The Paul Mwangi who signed the Form 34C is a clergyman who was the Chief Agent of Agano Party,” he said in a tweet.

He was appointed by Raila as his adviser on legal matters therefore replacing Miguna Miguna.

The results announced by IEBC chairman Wafula Chebukati indicated that William Ruto won by garnering 7.1 million votes. Raila came second with 6.9 million votes while Waihiga Mwaure of Agano and George Wajackoya got 31,987 and 61, 969 votes respectively.
