The Azimio La Umoja-One Kenya and United Democratic Alliance (UDA) have denounced notices calling for nationwide demonstrations after the Supreme Court Ruling on the presidential petition due Monday.

UDA Secretary-General Veronica Maina distanced herself from the letter purported to have been issued by her as a doctored document pushed out by the political opponents.

“Desperation by the masters of forgeries,” the UDA official tweeted.

The fake notice made a clarion call to all supporters of the party led by President-Elect William Ruto to take to the streets for peaceful protests on Monday ahead of the Supreme Court ruling on the presidential election petition challenging Ruto’s August 9 victory.

On his part, ODM Director of Communications Philip Etale indicated that the Azimio coalition party leadership had not called for any form of demonstrations anywhere in Kenya.

He stated that the Coalition Party “is confident of a positive ruling after its lawyers presented facts.”

Deputy President William Ruto who was declared winner in the contest has in the meantime assured that he will respect the outcome of the Supreme Court judges.

“I want to assure you that I respect the law, and as Kenya Kwanza we will respect the outcome of the Supreme Court,” he said at a church service in Nakuru on Sunday.

The petition was filed by his rival Raila Odinga of the Azimio La Umoja One Kenya alliance, who accused the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) of rigging the results in favour of Ruto.  By Laban Wanambisi, Capital News
