Speaking to journalists on Wednesday, Munya reiterated Raila Odinga’s claims that 2017 general election had been rigged through computerized manipulation of results.

Raila yesterday rejected IEBC interim results claiming malicious persons gained unauthorized access into IEBC computer system using the late Chris Musando’s (IEBC ICT manager ) login details and manipulated the election results in favor of Jubilee.

The incumbent Meru governor said he won’t accept IEBC provisional results because they were manipulated. He said the will of the people had been subverted by the rigged election.

“We are back to the old KANU days where elections were stolen to divert the will of the will of the people,” Peter Munya said.
