He said he was not yet prepared to announce specific legal steps.<\/p>\n<p>Odinga has until next Monday to file a challenge with the supreme court.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking for the four commissioners, electoral commission deputy chair Juliana Cherera said the results showing Ruto winning with 50.49% were erroneously aggregated and that Chebukati had disregarded concerns about the tally raised by other commissioners.<\/p>\n<p>Cherera later said that one of her main claims was based on a mathematical error. She had originally highlighted that the vote percentages for the race&#8217;s four candidates added up to 100.01%, saying the additional 0.01% represented 142,000 votes, enough to potentially sway the election.<\/p>\n<p>Ruto defeated Odinga by about 233,000 votes.<\/p>\n<p>Responding to a Reuters query, Cherera later acknowledged that 0.01% of the 14.2 million votes cast was actually 1,420, but said the tally still showed a lack of quality control of the data.<\/p>\n<p>STREETS QUIET<\/p>\n<p>With memories still fresh of post-election bloodshed, Odinga has faced calls from home and abroad to commit to resolving any concerns in the courts.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-7671\" src=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Kenya-opposition-leader-Raila-Odinga-contracts-virus-300x194.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"194\" srcset=\"https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Kenya-opposition-leader-Raila-Odinga-contracts-virus-300x194.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Kenya-opposition-leader-Raila-Odinga-contracts-virus-600x388.jpeg 600w, https:\/\/expressnewsghana.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Kenya-opposition-leader-Raila-Odinga-contracts-virus.jpeg 624w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><em><strong>\u00a0 \u00a0Raila Odinga<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>At a crowded restaurant in Odinga&#8217;s stronghold of Kisumu there was sporadic applause as supporters watched his statement rejecting the results and calling for peace. Outside the streets were quiet.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is no need for protest because we have evidence that Ruto rigged this thing,&#8221; said Justin Omondi, a businessman and Odinga supporter.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, the protests overnight showed how quickly tensions could escalate. Many shops in Kisumu were shuttered on Tuesday, and roads were dotted with stones and marks from burned tyres.<\/p>\n<p>Nancy Achieng arrived on Tuesday morning to find her roadside food stall in the Kondele neighbourhood destroyed.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve lost the election and I&#8217;ve also lost my business,&#8221; said Achieng, who had been selling beans, chapati and roasted maize there for two years.<\/p>\n<p>Kenya&#8217;s Eurobonds slipped after the statements by Odinga and the commissioners but were still up on the day having recovered some of the sharp losses seen on Monday.<\/p>\n<p>Its 2024 dollar-denominated bond was up 1.86 cents on the dollar at 88.5 cents at 1400 GMT compared to over 92 cents late last week.<\/p>\n<p>Once in office, Ruto will face an economic and social crisis as well as rising debt. Poor Kenyans already reeling from the impact of COVID-19 have been hit by soaring food and fuel costs while a devastating drought in the north has left 4.1 million people dependent on food aid.<\/p>\n<p>The 55-year-old Ruto had made Kenya&#8217;s class divisions the centrepiece of his campaign to become Kenya&#8217;s fifth president, promising to reward low-income &#8220;hustlers&#8221;, but in his victory speech on Monday vowed to be a president for all Kenyans.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.reuters.com\/world\/africa\/kenyas-ruto-village-chicken-seller-president-2022-08-15\/\">read more<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Outgoing president Kenyatta, who could not run after serving two five-year terms, fell out with his deputy Ruto and had backed Odinga.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Source : Reuters<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Defeated Kenyan politician Raila Odinga rejected as a &#8220;travesty&#8221;
